Martin Zubimendi struggles with Liverpool's decision, but the “feeling” is in one direction

Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi he received a lot of interest from big clubs in advance, but for the first time, it seems that he could actually leave Donostia-San Sebastian. In the previous cases, the big obstacle was his desire to move, and while before he had categorically excluded, now things seem a little difficult.

Fabrizio Romano explained on Friday afternoon that Zubimendi is “really tempted”. Liverpool and that he sees as “the opportunity of a lifetime”. However, at the same time, Real Sociedade are pushing hard to keep him, and are willing to offer him a new deal if he stays.

Matteo Moretto has now told Football España, referring to the information previously revealed by Relevo, that the sense is that Zubimendi could move. While he struggles with the decision, sometimes he seems to leave, and at others he reconsiders the idea. The big difference is that Zubimendi has achieved his dream of playing Champions League football for Real Sociedad, and is wondering if it is time to take a step forward in his career.

The 25-year-old's exit would be a surprise if it happened. Few saw Zubimendi leaving the club this summer, but Liverpool just need the green light from the player, as he has a €60 million release clause. With the likes of Bayern Munich, Juventus, Arsenal and Barcelona showing interest in the previous summer, his signing would be a coup for Arne Slot.
