Martin Zubimendi, a key player for Real Sociedad, recently made his much-anticipated preseason debut, a moment that was eagerly awaited by the club’s supporters.

La Real concluded their summer fixtures with a 1-1 friendly draw against Union Berlin, where Zubimendi came off the bench for the match’s final minutes.

This brief appearance in Berlin gave him essential match fitness as he prepares for the upcoming La Liga season.

Despite his continued significance to the Basque team, Martin Zubimendi’s future is still being determined, with Liverpool making a bold attempt to sign him.

Transfer expert Matteo Moretto has revealed that Martin Zubimendi, despite his current importance to Real Sociedad, is considering a move for the first time in his career. The potential activation of his €60 million release clause could significantly alter his future.

His preseason appearance suggests he may start Real Sociedad’s opening La Liga match of the 2024/25 season, a highly anticipated event that will see them face Rayo Vallecano on August 18 in San Sebastian.

Liverpool will persist in their efforts to secure his signature despite competing with a rival’s strong recruitment pitch. At the same time, La Real is doing everything possible to retain the 25-year-old in his hometown, showcasing the intense competition for Zubimendi.
