Leeds United are reportedly showing strong interest in Real Sociedad’s midfield anchor, Martín Zubimendi, in what could be one of the Championship club’s boldest moves in recent years. Dubbed “Farke’s own Zubimendi,” the Spanish international has drawn admiration for his intelligence on the ball, positional awareness, and ability to control the tempo from deep—traits that Leeds manager Daniel Farke values highly in his tactical setup.
With an estimated valuation of around £9 million, Zubimendi represents a major step up in quality, signaling the club’s clear intent to return to the Premier League with a stronger, possession-based midfield core. While securing the 25-year-old may be a challenging task due to interest from top European clubs and his commitment to La Liga football, Leeds’ proactive scouting and recruitment drive indicate they are willing to explore every possibility to make a statement signing.
Sources close to Elland Road suggest initial discussions are underway, though no official bid has been made. If successful, the acquisition would mark a seismic shift in Leeds’ transfer ambitions under Farke’s leadership.
