**Liverpool FC are reportedly keeping tabs on two Real Sociedad stars, midfielder Martin Zubimendi and winger Takefusa Kubo, as potential transfer targets for next summer.**
The Reds maintain an interest in Zubimendi, who opted to stay at Sociedad this summer despite interest from multiple clubs, including Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona. However, a bidding war is expected if he becomes available next year.
Meanwhile, Kubo, the Japanese winger who has impressed in La Liga, has also caught Liverpool’s eye. He is being considered as a potential replacement for Mohamed Salah, whose contract expires at the end of this season.
With Salah’s future uncertain, Liverpool are exploring options for the attacking position. While Kubo’s name may have arisen during discussions about Zubimendi, the 23-year-old is a talent Sociedad might struggle to retain for much longer.
