The FC Barcelona has clear that Martín Zubimendi is the footballer that more fits him to Xavi Hernández to relieve to Sergio Busquets inside LaLiga. The midfield player has had very good performances with the Real Sociedad and has gone in in the last announcement of Luis de la Fuente for the UEFA Nations League, where will confront to Croatia this Sunday in the final.
Although the commitment of the player with the group donostiarra is full, the true is that in the dispatches follow carrying the situation calmly of face to the market veraniego. Xavi understands that his last statements to the press are a sample of respect to his club and do not change the fact that it want him in the team the next season.
Xavi does not throw the towel by Zubimendi
And it is that the míster continues him having above the different candidates that has on his table for the pivote. Rúben Neves Is had to dress of Barcelona but the operation has agrounded by the refusal of Ansu Fati to go out of the Barça course to England. By his part, Sofyan Amrabat is an option 'low cost' but no a priority, what has opened him the door of the Athletic of Madrid to go in of full in the career by his services.
Also it is Joshua Kimmich, the one who is the footballer that more approaches to 'Busi' in the European elite. The German does not see with bad eyes recalar in the Barcelona but the delicate financial situation do that the operation was more than moved away. Although Robert Lewandowski wants to have him again like mate, the true is that in the dispatches have not offered the necessary guarantees so that the mediocentro presione his exit of Germany.
The Real Sociedad is calm
It is thus that Zubimendi continues in the tope of the list of Xavi, so much by quality as by the cost of the operation. His clause of rescission is priced in 60 million euros and his index card is inferior to the one of a lot of referents of the staff, what would fit with the new political salarial in profit of the Fair Play financial. In San Sebastián are calm because they trust the posture of the footballer and are convinced that it will continue in the team for the 2023/24. It will be necessary to see what occurs in the weeks to come.
