Zubimendi set to leave Real Sociedad in 2025: reports

Martin Zubimendi is expected to depart Real Sociedad in 2025, with a major move on the horizon. The talented midfielder has long been a sought-after prospect as both Manchester City and Liverpool are actively pursuing his transfer in the upcoming January transfer window.

The Sky Blues are particularly keen on his services as they look to replace Rodri, who is currently sidelined with an injury. The Spanish international would provide the perfect solution to cover for the defensive midfielder, ensuring City can continue to dominate in his absence.

Despite Pep Guardiola's interest, Liverpool remain serious contenders for Zubimendi. The Reds were rejected by the midfielder in the summer transfer window, but they are not deterred. The Merseyside board is determined to add him to their ranks, with the promise of a more prominent role in their midfield.

With both Premier League giants in the race, the player's future looks to be in the hands of two of the biggest clubs in world football.
