Man City and Liverpool target Zubimendi believes it is best to stay at Real Sociedad

Martin Zubimendi was close to Liverpool last summer but decided to stay at Real Sociedad. It is not every day you see a refusal to a team of the stature of the Reds, who are not the only ones to have shown interest in the Spain international midfielder from England.

Another Premier League giants, this time Manchester City, have expressed an interest in signing a player who, for the time being, is sticking to his guns to stay at Anoeta. It is true that the ‘so far’ that you are about to read below may worry the most pessimistic, but then he makes it clear that he still has a lot to do with the San Sebastian squad.

"My philosophy is to do, at all times, what comes from inside me. It's true that, in each transfer window, names and teams come up, as is normal. Until now, I have thought that the best thing for me was to stay at the club. I'm looking for my personal growth and I think I still have a lot to give at Real Sociedad and that's how it has been so far", said Zubimendi.

He was also asked about the Spain call-up of his teammate Sergio Gomez, a former Manchester City player, due to injuries to other wingers (Nico Williams, Ferran and Bryan Gil): "I'm very happy that he has come, he deserves it. In the short time he has been at Real, he has shown a lot of things. He has landed on his feet. He is a very complete player, versatile, technically at a very high level. He looks cheeky and eager to show his full potential."
