During his first international call-up with Spain, Martín Zubimendi took the opportunity to speak with 'Movistar+' about his future. According to the man from San Sebastian, at the moment he has no interest in listening to offers from FC Barcelona or other teams
Martín Zubimendi has left clear why, up to now, has not listened offers of the FC Barcelona or of another club. Although it renewed with the Real Sociedad until June of 2027, his clause of rescission is not, neither much less, 'prohibitiva' (60 million euros), but the player of 24 years has very clear his wish to continue in the group directed by Imanol Bailiff, where affirms to feel "very happy".
In an interview with 'Movistar+', the mediocentro ensured that, for the moment, there have not been approaches with the Barça. "Little, little because neither I have left me, I have not wanted to listen at all of out", it commented the one of San Sebastián. Martín adds 1 goal and 3 assistances in 33 parties (2.785 minutes) in what it goes of season with the team 'txuri urdin', performance that cost him his presence in the first announcement of Luis de la Fuente like seleccionador Spanish.
The Barça will not have easy the signing of Zubimendi
Further to have a clause of accessible rescission, in Barcelona know that the negotiations by Zubimendi will be complicated. First by the problems of the club with the 'fair play' financial and the need to go down mass salarial. And second, by the posture of the mediocentro to not listening offers, further of the interest culé and of clubs like an Arsenal that already tried to carry him to the Premier League in January.
"When somebody wants to be in a club, the clause gives the same", sentenced Martín regarding the possibility to be traspasado to another team. The donostiarra has played all his career in the Real and, the can play in his city, beside his family and friends, has a very special weight to the moment to consider change of airs. "That it go out my name from time to time is well, but am concentrated in the mine", added on the interest of the Barça.
The confidence of Zubimendi in the sportive project donostiarra
Martín Zubimendi debuted with the first team 'txuri urdin' in 2020 and already won a title with Imanol Bailiff in the bench (the Glass of the King 2019-20). For the moment, the group of San Sebastián keeps in the 'zone Champions' of the classification and the mediocentro trusts that the team will follow harvesting successes. "Shelve to the Real Sociedad with the season that are doing would be illogical. Here I am very happy", puntualizó.
'Zubi' Is the favourite player of Xavi Hernández to relieve to Sergio Busquets in summer if the captain, finally, descarta renovar. His solvency to give clean exit to the team and recover balloons turn him into a born pivote. De la Fuente trusts that, beside Rodri, the donostiarra can lidiar with the pressure to replace to 'Busi' in 'The Red'. The parties in front of Norway and Scotland will be his first proof of fire to international level.
