What Martin Zubimendi is about to do just two days after rejecting Liverpool
Liverpool fans went through all sorts of emotions during the Martin Zubimendi transfer saga.
It became very clear that the Spaniard was the Reds’ priority target in this window. They were ready to do everything to get him.
At one point, reports claimed that Zubimendi had agreed to join Liverpool. That, unsurprisingly, raised the excitement levels among Reds fans.
However, on Monday, Zubimendi rejected Liverpool and decided to stay at Real Sociedad. That broke Liverpool fans’ hearts and there has been a lot of frustration among the fan base since.
Martin Zubimendi is about to sign a new contract after rejecting Liverpool
have shared the latest on the Zubimendi situation after all the drama with Liverpool in recent days.
Real Sociedad were desperate to keep hold of their star midfielder this summer.
The club’s manager, Imanol Alguacil, went above and beyond to make Zubimendi stay by holding several meetings and also touching on the player’s love for his boyhood club and hometown.
Despite Liverpool’s best efforts, Zubimendi went with his heart.
The midfielder informed Liverpool on Monday that he will not be joining them, and he has now decided to commit his future to his boyhood club.
The report reveals that Zubimendi’s agents are ‘polishing the last details of the new contract’ and the player is expected to put pen to paper very soon.
The new contract is expected to make Zubimendi the highest-paid player at Real Sociedad.

Clubs could now exploit Liverpool’s setback
It’s easy to say that Liverpool should go and sign a new midfielder now after they were rejected by Zubimendi two days ago.
However, the problem for the Reds is that every club on the planet now knows that they are in desperate need of a new man in the middle of their park.
That will make those clubs push their asking price up, which means Liverpool will have to overpay to get a new midfielder this summer.
But, Liverpool can only blame themselves for this situation.
If more money is what it will take to fix their midfield issue, FSG should open their chequebook and get the job done.
