Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has addressed recent speculation linking him with a potential move to Manchester City in the upcoming January transfer window. The 25-year-old Spaniard, known for his defensive midfield capabilities and tactical intelligence, has reiterated his commitment to his current club, Real Sociedad.
Commitment to Real Sociedad
Zubimendi, who has been a key figure at Real Sociedad, expressed his desire to continue his development with the Basque club. He stated, “There are always rumours but so far I’ve always thought that the best solution for me is staying at Real Sociedad.” He further emphasised his intention to contribute more to the team, saying, “I’ve still a lot of things to give to this club, I still wanna grow and develop here.”
Previous Transfer Speculations
This is not the first time Zubimendi has been the subject of transfer speculation. Earlier this year, he was linked with a move to Liverpool, as the Premier League club sought to bolster their midfield options. Despite the interest, Zubimendi chose to remain at Real Sociedad, a decision he explained in September, citing his commitment to the club’s project and his personal growth.
Style of Play and Career
Zubimendi is recognised for his strong defensive skills, ability to read the game, and effective ball distribution. His style of play has made him an attractive prospect for top European clubs. Having spent his entire professional career at Real Sociedad, Zubimendi has developed into a pivotal player for the team, contributing both defensively and in building up play from the back.
