Liverpool have reportedly outlined their intentions to move for Real Sociedad midfielder Mikel Merino next summer.
The Reds are said to be in the market for a new midfielder, having failed to replace Georginio Wijnaldum during the summer.
Borussia Dortmund’s Jude Bellingham has been strongly linked with a move to the Merseyside, but the German outfit have continued to insist that the English teenager is not for sale.
Manchester United and Manchester City have reportedly placed emphasis on signing Real Sociedad forward Alexander Isak in the summer transfer window.
Despite enduring a slow start to the new season, the 22-year-old striker recently signed a long-term contract at the Anoeta Stadium with a £77m release clause.
Manchester City are weighing up a summer move for Real Sociedad winger Mikel Oyarzabal before this summer’s transfer window shuts down.
The 22-year-old Spaniard has scored 14 goals in 41 appearances for the La Liga outfit during the 2018-19 campaign, while he also scored on his competitive debut for Spain in their 3-0 victory over Sweden last month.
