A recent report in As reveals the behind-the-scenes story of a rumored transfer between Real Sociedad midfielder Subbimendi and Premier League giants Liverpool, and Subbimendi's own firm stance on the matter.
The report states that despite the rumors that started last Wednesday about the possibility of Subbimendi joining Liverpool, the young midfielder did not include leaving Real Sociedad in his considerations from the start. The decision was not an impulsive one, but one based on his deep emotional attachment to the club and his contentment with his current surroundings. Subbimendi has not only found his place at Real Sociedad, but also enjoys playing alongside his teammates, a sense of belonging that he cherishes above all else.
Subbimendi's professionalism was not affected during the days when the rumors were swirling. He traveled with the team to Germany as usual for the friendly match against Union Berlin and returned to Gipuzkoa afterwards, showing his loyalty and dedication to the club throughout. This spirit of staying focused in the midst of the turmoil undoubtedly won him widespread praise from fans and teammates alike.
After a short period of waiting and weighing his options, Subbimendi finally conveyed his decision to Liverpool on Monday - rejecting the transfer offer. This decision not only reflects his loyalty to Real Sociedad, but also proves once again that money is not the primary goal he has pursued in his career. For Subbimendi, being able to play in a team he loves and struggle with like-minded teammates is far more important than any material temptation.
Looking back at the 23/24 season, Subbimendi proved his strength and value with outstanding performances. He made 45 appearances for Real Sociedad in all tournaments, scoring 4 goals and contributing 1 assist, becoming an indispensable midfield core of the team. This performance not only won him the fans' favor, but also attracted the attention of many European giants. However, in the face of temptation, Subbimendi chose to stay true to his roots, and this determination and persistence will undoubtedly inspire him to continue to contribute to Real Sociedad in future matches.
