United open to paying full release clause
The 25-year-old was one of the stars of the recently-concluded European Championships, playing a key role as a second-half substitute to help Spain defeat England in the final.
It would take a lot of money to take the player out of his hometown club and as relayed by Football Transfers, the 20-time English league champions are open to paying the midfield maestro’s release clause of €60 million.
United’s earlier cheeky bid was deemed as not enough and with Ten Hag “a big admirer” of the Spaniard, INEOS are open to paying the release clause in full.
Zubimendi is considered an “ideal replacement” for the former Real Madrid superstar and the team from Donostia-San Sebastian are open to concluding a deal with United.
Barcelona and fierce rivals Arsenal are also eyeing the Spain international but have so far not managed to cough up the money required with new Barca boss Hansi Flick instead looking at a different profile for his midfield.
Race on for Zubimendi
The Spaniard scored four times while also assisting one from a deep-lying position last season with his passing ability and his positioning proving crucial for Sociedad.
