Liverpool and Manchester City Reportedly Track Real Sociedad Full‑Back Jon Aramburu

A reported £50 million release clause would set a clear buyout price and could prompt a quick bid from clubs seeking a defensively reliable, versatile full‑back.

Overview

  • Reports published Saturday, September 19, 2026, citing TeamTalk and picked up by Yahoo Sports and CaughtOffside say Liverpool and Manchester City are among several Premier League clubs monitoring Jon Aramburu.
  • Those reports state Aramburu’s contract contains a release clause of roughly £50 million which would allow a suitor to trigger a transfer at that set fee rather than enter a protracted negotiation.
  • Aramburu is a 24‑year‑old Venezuela international noted for disciplined one‑on‑one defending and the ability to play both right and left full‑back roles.
  • Coverage frames Liverpool’s interest around their need for a more defensively solid right‑side option after Trent Alexander‑Arnold’s exit and challenges integrating Jeremie Frimpong, while Manchester City and other clubs have carried out checks.
  • No club has publicly confirmed an offer and Real Sociedad are protected by Aramburu’s contract through 2030, so any move would depend on a club deciding to meet the clause or opening formal talks.
