Last spring/summer, Liverpool worked hard to bring Martin Zubimendi to Anfield, and were confident that they had secured the defensive midfielder. The Spanish international declined. He chose to stay with Real Socidad. Now it is reported that Zubimendi is still on his way to the Premier League.
Manchester City have been linked with Zubimendi in recent months, one of the few players Guardiola believes can replace Rodri. The Real Sociedad player was not interested in signing for the club that in a few months will have the world’s best, Rodri, back on the pitch.
According to the Daily Mail, Zubimendi has approached another Premier League club. The English media claim that Arsenal have been in contact with the Spaniard’s representatives in recent months, where the Arsenal management believes it is heading towards signing after agreeing with Zubimendi on parts of the personal terms.
There is no verbal or written agreement in place, but it is reported that the negotiations are well past the first phases.
Zubimendi has a buyout clause of 60 million euros.
