Martin Zubimendi, the talented midfielder from Real Sociedad, has been making headlines as he continues to be linked with a move to the Premier League. However, the player himself has downplayed these rumors and insists that he is focused on his current club and not paying attention to any outside noise.
In the summer, there was a lot of talk about Zubimendi potentially joining Liverpool, with the club agreeing to meet his £51m release clause. But the Spaniard ultimately rejected the offer and instead signed a new contract with Real Sociedad, where he has been playing since 2011. Despite this new deal, there are still speculations that Zubimendi could make a move in the upcoming January transfer window, with Arsenal being named as a possible destination.
However, the 25-year-old remains unfazed by these rumors and is determined to stay focused on his game. In an interview with Estadio Deportivo, he said, "There will always be rumors, especially with the transfer window approaching, but I don't let it affect me. I'm happy with the way I'm handling it and I will continue to do so."
Zubimendi's talent has not gone unnoticed, as he was called up to play for Spain in the Euro 2024 tournament. Despite his failed move to Liverpool, the midfielder has no regrets and stands by his decision to stay with Real Sociedad. "I made my decision based on what I felt was best for me, and the results of that decision don't affect me," he said in an interview with Noticias De Gipuzkoa. "I have faith in this team, and I can see the potential. I'm excited for the upcoming season."
Liverpool's unsuccessful attempt at signing Zubimendi has not stopped them from continuing their search for a top midfielder. This season, Ryan Gravenberch has been excelling in the deepest midfield role, but it is Mikel Arteta's Arsenal that may be in need of an additional midfielder. With their well-known injury troubles, the Gunners are currently nine points behind Liverpool in the league and are looking to make a move in the transfer window.
Last summer, Arsenal signed Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad, and sources say that this could pave the way for another high-profile signing in midfield. With Arteta's personal history with the club, negotiations could potentially go smoothly. As the transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Zubimendi to see if he will make a move to the Premier League or continue to shine at Real Sociedad.
