Defensive midfielder Martin Zubimendi proves daily that he is one of the world’s very best players.
Liverpool have been ahead with a bid of around €60 million. – The bosses at Anfield are offering a purchase this winter with a loan back to Real Sociedad until the end of the La Liga season.
Real Sociedad are one point away from playing in Europe and are not going to do anything that could weaken the team until the gain for betting in Europe is too big. Martin Zubimendi is very happy and has no interest in moving on. Nevertheless, Football Insider writes that Manchester City are throwing themselves into the game and are said to be willing to outbid Liverpool and at the same time offer Martin Zubimendi triple the salary.
Martin Zubimendi has a deal with Real Sociedad until the summer of 2027 and he brings in a salary of 3 million euros a year. Mancester City manager Pep Guardiola sees him as a perfect replacement for Rodri, who is out with a long-term injury.
It is clear that they are struggling without their Ballon d’Or winner, the sky blues will be willing to go to great lengths to beef up the team this winter.
Liverpool and Manchester City are of course not alone, a whole bunch of clubs are ready with the chequebook.
