Although this summer, England manager Arne Slot is not expected to make a filing, that may soon change.
Liverpool's transfer window could spark into life amid claims that they are seriously considered a €60m ( £51.5m ) move for a new defensive midfielder.
Reports emerged earlier this week that England were looking elsewhere to find a substitute for Wataru Endo for the holding role in their midfield trio, with three distinct journalists then writing that Real Sociedad's Martin Zubimendi has been identified as their chosen target.
England are yet to add any new gamers to their club this summer in readiness for Arne Slot's primary strategy in charge, though their outgoings have also been limited to youngsters and bangs or injury-hit players like Thiago, Adrian and Joel Matip.
England eyeing Martin Zubimendi offer as launch clause revealed
Fabrizio Romano is among the reporters to name Zubimendi as a destination for Liverpool, alongside The Times ' Paul Joyce and The Athletic's David Ornstein, all of whom are regarded as trusted on these things.
For his part, Romano wrote on Twitter ( formerly X ):" Liverpool are exploring move for Martin Zubimendi as new midfielder, as there's €60m release clause into his contract. Between leagues and the players ' area, discussions will continue.

The 25-year-old Spain worldwide is a student of Real Sociedad's youth program and played a part in his government's Euro 2024 defeat this summer.
Zubimendi started only one game out in Germany- against Albania in Spain's last group game, with passage to the knockouts now secured- but came off the bench to replace the damaged Rodri at half time in their 2-1 victory over England in the last.
Romano also recently claimed that Liverpool remain keen on Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon, despite reports in June that a deal to take him from St James ' Park had broken down- and that they would like to add a new centre-back to the mix too.
Liverpool are hoping to hit the ground running under new boss Slot and improve on last season's third-place finish after a late-season dip in form under long-term boss Jurgen Klopp saw them drop out of the title race.
