The Spaniard’s Love for His Boyhood Club
Speaking about the transfer rumours, Zubimendi said, “I have never planned to leave Real Sociedad. I love life here, at home, I’m so happy here. The value of this club is the same as mine, so I feel very good. I always said that I’m happy.”
The 24-year-old midfielder – who is a product of La Real’s academy, has been with the club since he was 12 years old. He made his senior debut in 2019 and has since made over 100 appearances for the club.
Martin Zubimendi’s Playing Style
The Spaniard’s performances this season have been particularly impressive, as he has established himself as a regular in the Basque club’s midfield. He has made 39 appearances in all competitions, providing three goal contributions. He has also played a key role in the club’s push for Champions League football next season.
The young midfielder is known for his technical ability, tactical intelligence, and excellent passing range. He is comfortable in possession and is not afraid to take on opponents. He is also a hard worker, both on and off the ball, and is known for his excellent reading of the game.
What Next For the Midfielder?
It remains to be seen whether the Gunners or the Blaugrana will make a move for Zubimendi in the coming weeks. However, the midfielder’s comments suggest he is happy and has no plans to leave his current club anytime soon.
Nonetheless, his impressive performances this season have shown that he is one of the most talented young midfielders in Europe and is sure to attract interest from other clubs in the future – who could be tempted to pay his reported £53 million release clause.
