Over the last week, plenty of media attention has been on Martín Zubimendi (25) and the possibility of the Real Sociedad star making the move to the Premier League to play for Arne Slot’s Liverpool.
The midfielder is showing his loyalty to La Real, as in a shocking twist he has reportedly rejected Liverpool’s offer and is set to remain at the Basque club ahead of the upcoming season.
This news comes courtesy of Relevo, who are reporting that Zubimendi is set to stay in La Liga despite the fact that Liverpool were ready and willing to pay his €60 million release clause.
This news will be music to the ears of Real Sociedad, who faced the prospect of losing two of their most important players in one transfer window after Robin Le Normand left the club for Atlético Madrid not long ago.
This news will only benefit the club ahead of the upcoming season, as they look to improve on last season’s 6th-placed finish and make moves in the Europa League.
With Zubimendi’s continuation in Spanish football seemingly confirmed, it will be interesting to hear in the coming days more information from the player himself about what caused the move to fall through.
