Liverpool target Martin Zubimendi has opened up on rejecting a move to Anfield in the summer
Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has opened up on his decision to reject a transfer to Liverpool in the summer. The Spaniard said that the Reds' interest caught him 'by surprise', but added that there is 'no need to rush' into a move to a top-class European side.
A product of Sociedad's academy, Zubimendi has been a regular starter for La Real since the 2020-21 campaign. A reliable defensive midfielder, renowned for his tough tackling, footballing IQ and pinpoint passing, he has made 209 appearances for his boyhood side across all competitions.
Over the past few seasons, the 25-year-old has attracted interest from multiple Premier League juggernauts including Manchester City, Arsenal, and Liverpool. The latter even made a concrete move for his services in the summer, only to be rejected by the player himself.
