San Sebastián: So, it looks like Martin Zubimendi is having second thoughts about staying at Real Sociedad. Just a few months ago, he turned down a big move to Liverpool, but now things might be changing.
Last summer, Liverpool really wanted him. Their coach, Arne Slot, had his eyes set on Zubimendi for the midfield role. It seemed like a done deal, but he decided to stick with Sociedad instead. He mentioned that he was surprised by the interest and needed time to think it over.
He said, “I didn’t plan for this. I took my time and thought about what was best for me.” He felt it was important to stay and develop with his team this season. It wasn’t an easy choice, but he focused on his growth and the club’s future.
Now, with Ryan Gravenberch doing so well in the role Zubimendi was linked to, it’s unclear if Liverpool will make another move for him. Gravenberch has been impressive in every game so far.
Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has reported that Zubimendi is ready to reconsider his decision. He was a standout player for Spain recently, and now he might be looking for a new challenge.
Balague noted that while Zubimendi turned down Liverpool before, he’s now open to leaving Sociedad. He’s not the fastest player, but he’s got a great understanding of the game, which makes him valuable. It’ll be interesting to see if Liverpool or other Premier League teams make a move for him.
