Liverpool and Man City target Martin Zubimendi 'is ready to leave Real Sociedad in 2025', with the two Premier League giants set for potential battle to sign the midfielder next month

Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi is reportedly ready to leave his boyhood club in 2025.

Zubimendi, 25, was a key target for Liverpool in the summer after winning the Euros with Spain, but opted to stay at Sociedad for the 'food and hikes'.

He has also emerged as a potential signing for Manchester City in recent weeks amid their slump in form, while key midfielder Rodri is also expected to miss the rest of the season with a serious knee injury.

The Premier League pair have now received a potential boost to their hopes of signing Zubimendi, as he is now coming around to the idea of moving on from Sociedad, according to The Athletic's David Ornstein via Sport.
