Man City eyeing January move for Martin Zubimendi

Martin Zubimendi has become on of Real Sociedad's key players. Despite the fact that the ‘Txuri-urdin’ are not going through their best moment, the midfielder from San Sebastian is a regular starter in Imanol Alguacil's plans. This summer, the No 4 was on the verge of leaving the Basque side, but he decided to stay at home.

However, he has still not renewed his contract and, despite the fact that it ends in 2027, it has still not been renewed. This means that the release clause is still set at around 60 million euros, a price that is quite affordable for teams with a good financial lung.

Zubimendi is not going unnoticed and, according to ‘Relevo’, Manchester City have set their sights on the Real Sociedad player. The Cityzens see the player as the generational replacement for Rodri, who also has a contract expiring in 2027.

In addition, the English side are not ruling out the possibility of trying to carry out the operation in the winter transfer window, thus securing the services of one of the most promising players and making up for the long-term absence of the Spanish midfielder.

Despite this and having decided to stay at Real Sociedad, it is very unlikely that Zubimendi will take a step back so soon and decide to leave the team in the middle of the season.
