Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has rejected a move to Liverpool

However, Sociedad were desperate to keep hold of Zubimendi and having offered him a new contract with higher wages, the 25-year-old has now opted to remain with the Basque club.

Zubimendi shone in the Euro 2024 final against England when he replaced Rodri at half-time as Spain went on to win 2-1.

The midfielder has been at Sociedad since 2011 and helped the club finish sixth last season, scoring four times in 31 appearances.
