According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, former Barca player and current coach Xavi has commented that Martin Zubimendi could become “the next Busquets”. Xavi believes that if he had to choose a midfielder, Real Sociedad’s Zubimendi is the right choice. Contrary to Zubimendi’s transfer value being quite high, last summer, this player expressed his desire to stay at Sociedad.
Zubimendi is considered a promising talent in Spanish football. Xavi, who was once one of the world’s top midfielders, highly appreciated Zubimendi’s abilities and saw him as a potential successor to the role of Sergio Busquets – one of Barcelona’s key players for many years. last year.
However, buying Zubimendi is not easy because he has a contract release clause worth 60 million Euros. This increases the value of this player and makes a transfer more difficult. However, Xavi still thinks Zubimendi deserves high praise and is willing to make an effort to recruit him if possible.
With his qualities and potential, Zubimendi can become one of the top midfielders in the future. The comparison with Busquets, who made history at Barcelona, shows the level of expectations for Zubimendi. However, only time will tell whether he can truly acknowledge Busquets’ role.
