Liverpool could now resurrect collapsed €90m transfer Liverpool have been given a chance to put new life into a collapsed transfer. Richard Hughes looked into two major transfers for his debut window in charge of Liverpool. One of those was Martin Zubimendi, who eventually signed for Arsenal a year later.
In fact, Liverpool pushed hard for Zubimendi. A deal was all but done, only for the midfielder to change his mind at the last moment. But that wasn't all.
Liverpool were also reasonably close to an agreement for Anthony Gordon as Newcastle United needed to sell players to meet Premier League PSR rules. It was a specific deal. Liverpool would sign Gordon but also send Joe Gomez the other way as both clubs got what they were chasing at the time.
However, Newcastle would sell other players instead, opting to keep Gordon. Now it's 2026 and a similar situation and opportunity has arisen. Florian Plettenberg is one of those reporting that Newcastle are willing to sell Gordon.
