Real Sociedad Set to Extend Zubimendi’s Contract

Real Sociedad are close to finalizing a contract extension for midfielder Martín Zubimendi amid interest from top European clubs. The 25-year-old has been one of the most consistent deep-lying playmakers in La Liga.
Zubimendi’s composure, vision, and defensive work make him the engine of Imanol Alguacil’s side. With his current deal running until 2027, the new contract would increase his release clause and solidify his place in the team’s future.
Barcelona and Bayern Munich have previously shown interest, but Sociedad are confident he will stay. The club has built a strong core of homegrown players, and Zubimendi is a symbol of that identity.
The midfielder has expressed his love for the club and the city, often stating that he prefers to play regularly at a club that values him rather than sit on the bench at a giant.
Locking down Zubimendi would be a major boost for Real Sociedad as they prepare for another season in Europe and aim for a top-four finish.
