San Sebastián: So, it looks like Martin Zubimendi is having a change of heart. After saying no to Liverpool a few months back, he’s now ready to leave Real Sociedad. It’s wild how things can turn around, right?
According to soccer expert Guillem Balague, Zubimendi is set to move on. But here’s the kicker: Liverpool might not be in the running this time. Balague mentioned that Zubimendi had everything lined up with Liverpool but decided to stay put. Now, three months later, he’s ready to explore new options.
Balague also pointed out that Manchester City could be eyeing him as a replacement for Rodri. Barcelona is interested too, but they’re a bit short on cash right now. It seems like Zubimendi is eager to make a move.
He might not be the fastest player out there, but he’s got a great understanding of the game. Balague thinks he’s a step above Ryan Gravenberch, who’s been doing well at Liverpool. It’s interesting to see how this all plays out, especially with City needing depth in their midfield.
Even if Zubimendi goes to City, he might find himself as a backup once Rodri is back. At Liverpool, having two solid players in the same role could really help the team. Just look at how well Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo have been working together.
If Zubimendi is truly ready to leave, Liverpool still seems like the best fit for him. City has its own challenges, and Real Madrid is currently focused on other targets. So, who knows? We might see him in a Liverpool jersey sooner rather than later.
