The Real Sociedad informed the past Thursday that Martín Zubimendi follows without being able to train to the same rhythm that his mates. Although it expected that reincorporara this week, the footballer has not achieved to surpass the injury suffered in the muscle biceps femoral left and, except a 'miracle', will be absent in the duel suspender belt in front of the FC Barcelona of the next Monday in Lluís Companys.

The presence of the player could have been considered like a 'proof of fire' to evaluate a possible signing. However, with the injury, his presence is practically descartada. The player of San Sebastián is one of the aims to reinforce the position of defensive pivote of face to the next season, but the Real keeps firm and will not allow that it go out by an inferior quantity to the one of his clause of rescission (60 million euros).

In these moments, the Barça is not in economic conditions to offer the 60M. Although the wish of the Catalan club is to have the mediocentro donostiarra or with the German Joshua Kimmich, are conscious that they will not be able to carry out any operation until his financial situation improve.

Zubimendi Or Kimmich, only one will arrive

Both players represent attractive options to reinforce the centre of the field of the team of the City Condal. Nevertheless, given the financial restrictions, the club confronts to the difficult decision to choose to one only of them to incorporate to his rows. On the one hand, it is Zubimendi with a clause of exit of 60 million euros. On the other hand, it is Kimmich, a polyvalent player that, in front of his doubts to renew with the Bayern, the Bavarians could leave go out in return of 50-60 million euros.
