The name of Martín Zubimendi follows echoing every time with more strength in the City Condal. The current mediocentro of the Real Sociedad is one of the players that Xavi Hernández demands with greater insistence to reinforce the zone of mediocentros from the past market veraniego. However, this incorporation has complicated enormously by two reasons. In the first place, the wish of the donostiarra to be still in his adventure with the combined 'blanquiazul'. Second, on economic grounds, since the Basques are had to accept only the payment of the clause liberatoria of the player (60 M€) to leave it leave, a figure that seems to be too elevated for the cast culé.
Nevertheless, the Barcelona cast does not seem to lose the hope to purchase the services of this talentoso midfield player of 25 years. In fact, coincidencialmente (or no), previous to the meeting between the FC Barcelona and the Real Sociedad in the day 35 of LaLiga EA Sports, Deco, sportive director of the Catalan club, conversed with the agent of the player. This has not been of the like of the Basque team and, of some way, has caldeado the previous environment to this commitment, that keeps on being topic of conversation around Martín Zubimendi. By the way, the donostiarra will not be able to participate in the duel against the Barça because of an injury in the biceps femoral left.
A historical of the Real Sociedad spoke on the future of Zubimendi
In this sense, a legend of the Real Sociedad, the left extreme Roberto López Ufarte, the one who contested more than 415 meetings with the T-shirt of the combined 'Txuri-Urdin', did not doubt in expressing his opinion in 'Sports Cope Gipuzkoa' on why, in his opinion, Martín Zubimendi would not have to fichar by the FC Barcelona. "I have my doubts that Zubimendi was player for the Barça, perhaps of another team, yes; but no of the Barça", began saying.
The 'small devil' based his affirmation exposing the difficulties that involves to assume a key position in the entramado of game of the Barcelonan square, where still odd to a historical figure like Sergio Busquets. "The comparisons with Busquets always go to be odiosas and like Busquets there has not been anybody", highlighting the pressure that comports to be the elected for 'fill the shoes' of 'Busi': "I do not say that fracasen, but are in the eye of the hurricane".
To close, the Hispanic-Moroccan did not doubt in reaffirming the fact that, by the moment, Martín Zubimendi and his surroundings bet for abandoning the Real Sociedad. "Have my doubts that it go . I know to the family, to his father, and I always have said him: 'Where better goes to be your son is the Real, as long as it keep growing and in Europe'", concluded.
