The name of Mikel Jauregizar has burst onto the scene at Liverpool. The young midfielder from Athletic Club, at just 21 years old, is having a notable season in LaLiga, and his potential has not gone unnoticed by the English club's sports management. They are closely monitoring him from Anfield, and everything indicates they are preparing a serious move to sign him in the summer market.
According to journalist Bence Bocsák, with Martín Zubimendi leaning towards Arsenal, the Reds have intensified the search for a new defensive midfielder, with Jauregizar emerging as one of the favorites. As mentioned in the British press, his name is at the top of the agenda for coach Arne Slot, who sees the Basque player as an ideal piece to balance his midfield.
Athletic works to hold onto him for much longer
Liverpool had previously considered other options like Aurélien Tchouaméni or Moisés Caicedo without success. Now, all eyes are on San Mamés. The performances of Athletic's homegrown player have left a good impression in England, where they believe he is ready to make the leap to the Premier League.
However, it won't be easy. Jauregizar is under contract with the Bilbao club until 2027, and efforts are already underway at Ibaigane for a renewal that would tie him until 2031. Athletic aims to secure their gem, but Liverpool's persistence could test their retention capabilities. The summer market promises movement.
