"You might be here three years but City are City and they are five points ahead of you at Christmas. Just make it count."

Despite this, The Athletic indicates Liverpool's interest hasn't waned, even as Sociedad braces for change with the anticipated departure of their long-serving sporting director Roberto Olabe when the season concludes.
