In the event that Dominic Solanke, an attacker for Bournemouth, were to sign a summer transfer to Tottenham Hotspur, Liverpool would reportedly benefit greatly.
In 2023–24, Solanke, 26, enjoyed a fantastic season with his side. In 42 games for his club, the Chelsea youth product recorded four assists and scored 21 goals against the opposition.
Journalist Paul O’Keefe now claims that Tottenham and Bournemouth have agreed a deal for Solanke’s services. They plan to provide Andoni Iraola’s team £57 million, with £30 million paid upfront.
Journalist David Lynch claimed that because of the 20% sell-on option Liverpool negotiated in a 2019 contract, they would get £7.6 million from Spurs.
Solanke, who moved on a Bosman move from Chelsea to the Reds in 2017, negotiated a £19 million permanent deal to Bournemouth in 2019.
In 27 games in all competitions over his 1.5 years with the Merseyside team, Solanke registered one goal and the same number of assists.
If the English player signs with Ange Postecoglou’s team this summer, he might end up being a great addition. He would become one of their key starters and force Richarlison lower in the hierarchy.
Liverpool target is praised in the midst of rumors
La Liga analyst Ivan Fuente praised Real Sociedad star and Liverpool target Martin Zubimendi in an interview with Transfermarkt. He declared:
“He is arguably La Liga’s top center midfield player. He can break lines with the ball while under duress and has extremely accurate passing. Xabi Alonso, Sergio Busquets, and Rodri are just a few of the Spanish midfielders he is descended from, despite the fact that he is not as physically strong as them all. It is quite hard to take the ball from him, even though he can win it back quite effectively.”
Adding more commentary on the midfield player connected to Liverpool, he said:
“He demonstrated his abilities in the [UEFA Euro 2024] championship match [against England], and he would be a valuable addition to any elite squad, particularly those who desire to possess the ball.” I believe that he could only leave Anoeta [Stadium] with a very strong offer from a premier team. He plays for his hometown team and is from San Sebastian.”
In 188 games for his team, Zubimendi—who is rumored to have a £51 million release clause—has eight goals and seven assists.
If Zubimendi were to sign with Liverpool, he would likely start more often than players like Stefan Bajcetic, Wataru Endo, and Curtis Jones.
