The legend of Liverpool with Martin Zubimendi involves some of the clumsiest people Liverpool has ever experienced and it finally ends up.

On Saturday morning, Fabrizio Romano gave us the news that we have all realized over the past few months that we all knew that Espanyol would join Arsenal this summer.

This was accepted by Liverpool’s attitude towards midfielders last summer by Real Sociedad, and then Zubimandi eventually refused us to reject our childhood club on the grounds of a preference for living in the Basque Country of Spain with mountains and food.

But after a conversation with his fellow countryman Mikel Arteta, he seemed willing to give up on everything he had wanted before, abandoned his principles, and moved to the famous mountainous areas of north London.

It's easy for Liverpool fans to respect Zubimendi's decision to stay at his childhood club, especially considering that it's something we all want Trent Alexander-Arnold to do with us. But in the end, both players will move away - a sign of the dismal modern football era.

Still, his rejection of the Reds was actually a good thing. Instead, Ryan Gravenberch was given the green light to play sixth place, and he has been a revelation this season, playing a crucial role in winning the Premier League in the U.S., so I think we owe him to thank him.

Zubimendi disappointment leads to Liverpool's net gain

So, let's unravel the news. Fans of different persuasiveness may jump on this post and claim that Liverpool fans are using their league success as Copium that lost the game at Zubimendi.

But the opposite is actually correct. It's no surprise that Liverpool won the Premier League this season with some luck - the team looked very leggy before crossing the line, and Arsenal couldn't compete due to their own fitness issues, which made it a walk to the park.

Gravenberch eventually fell in form on all the positive aspects of the season. Although this shouldn't be worried, as he was almost hit to the ground by Arne Slot, the problem should be pointed out.

Liverpool has a lot to solve this summer, so research on Gravenberch will fall on the shopping list as other things are prioritized, but the club still hasn't signed a defensive midfielder to replace Fabinho. The 22-year-old is an unforeseen shift option.

Therefore, Zubimendi News has some blows. Academic players like Stefan Bajcetic might be used to cover Gravenberch, but the Spaniards were originally a great player on the team.

But in the end, Liverpool benefited from the legend - no money on a defensive midfielder, but the Premier League champion won the championship anyway. At the age of four, it was claimed that the Reds' players may be better than Zubimendi.

By not having to spend money on defensive midfielders, Liverpool will also have an advantage over next season's league "competitor" Arsenal. The Gunners will spend £50 million on another DM.

Yes, Arteta's overdefensive narrative won't disappear anytime soon.

Zubimendi can be seen as a direct replacement for Jorginho without a contract this summer, but the Spaniard will join Declan Rice, Mikel Merino and Thomas Partey, who all have the ability to play the 6th role. Does his signature really need it?

So, a large portion of their summer budget is arguably unwanted player-position that needs investment before any conversations with potential left-wing or forward targets.

Liverpool also needs the left wing and forward Liverpool will be able to escape without paying for defensive midfield balls, all because Zubimendi forces us into this position.

Next season, pressure will securely win the league title on Arteta, and Liverpool will almost be seen as refusing to keep it. The first step was taken in a fascinating transfer summer, with Liverpool already claiming to be a 1-0 rise.
