‘World class’ player Pep Guardiola is loved by Liverpool and Martin Zubimendi are in talks

Liverpool were unable to sign Martin Zubimendi during the summer transfer window, but it appears they have now found another name to add to the list.

Arne Slot has ensured that Liverpool are doing well despite only signing two players in the summer.

Giorgi Mamardashvili will not play for the Reds until next season, as he will spend the remainder of the current campaign on loan at Valencia.

Meanwhile, Federico Chiesa will make his first start for Liverpool against West Ham in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, giving Slot a good idea of ​​the Italian’s current fitness.

The forward has had limited playing time since joining Liverpool, with Liverpool working to get him up to speed as the challenges of the Premier League can often be too much for some players.

Interestingly, it appears the Reds have set their sights on another potential signing…

Liverpool have spoken behind the scenes about a ‘world class’ player

Richard Hughes and Michael Edwards know exactly what they are doing, so Arne Slot need not worry about failing to sign a number six in the summer transfer window as Ryan Gravenberch is a fine replacement.

Gravenberch has been compared to Patrick Vieira lately, which shows how well he is playing this season.

Interestingly, it appears Liverpool are still in the market for a number six despite the Dutchman’s improving form.

According to Caught Offside, Liverpool are reportedly in talks over Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich.

The report reveals that Liverpool are still looking for a midfielder after failing to sign Martin Zubimendi last summer.

Zubimendi is still highly regarded by Arne Slot and other key figures at Liverpool, but Kimmich is also a name that has emerged as a top-tier and affordable option for the club.

Pep Guardiola’s love for Joshua Kimmich

Pep Guardiola was Kimmich’s manager at Bayern Munich in 2016 and after a match at Signal Iduna Park he said the following:

“I told him he might be one of the best central defenders in the world.” And later I said, “I love this boy.”

Earlier this year it was also indicated (according to Caught Offside) that Pep Guardiola would like to have Joshua Kimmich at Manchester City.

Liverpool are likely to face competition for Kimmich, who has been hailed as a ‘world class’ player, particularly due to his experience and affordable price tag.
