Both squads won their respective round of 16 matches in the Copa del Rey, and now they will face each other in the quarterfinals next week, a perfect opportunity for the culé club in the operation with the real youth squad
For a long time he FC Barcelona has been chasing the Real Sociedad midfielder and youth squad player, we are talking about Martin Zubimendi. There is no doubt that the Txuri Urdin youth academy is known for producing players of an excellent level, and the 23-year-old pivot is the best example of this. A talent that will be very close next week in Copa del Rey.
Now that the FC Barcelona and the Real society will meet in the quarterfinals of the Cup, Joan Laporta and Mateu Alemany will take advantage of the approach to wink at Martín Zubimendi. Of course, it will not be an easy task since the midfielder has a contract with the entity from San Sebastian until 2027.
If Barcelona proposes it, they will sign Martín Zubimendi in this same winter market
Teams like Real Madrid, Atlético or, in this case, Barcelona, have a high probability of signing the best talents from the other clubs in LaLiga Santander. The examples are innumerable and to be more exact, the culé club is preparing a great offer to sign the best midfielder in the real squad, after Mikel Merino.
What is most striking in the Catalan team is the way in which Zubimendi removes rivals and advances easily. The other element that seduces Barcelona more and more is the boy’s age (23). A key factor that guarantees high performance for several years. In the contract of the San Sebastian pivot there is a not so high clause that the culé club could pay, 60 million euros.
The praise for Martín Zubimendi is not only from Barcelona
A well-known journalist and Youtuber in the country spoke of the possibility of the midfielder signing for the Barça team. That is Miguel Quintana, who at the same time recognized and praised the work that Martín Zubimendi has been doing at Real Sociedad. The communicator also spoke of the main element that the player lacks to reach the top of world football.
“Because I don’t know if you are aware of what a great midfielder Martín Zubimendi already is. I think we all know that he is very good, I am not discovering gunpowder. But I think it is not yet known how much. That for that, unfortunately, because he spends many times in this country, he needs to play with the National Team or sign for Madrid or Barça ”said Quintana.
