As has happened this summer with Martín Zubimendi and the interest of Liverpool, Mikel Oyarzabal remained faithful to the Royal Society when he was tempted by Athletic with a great offer. This is what he revealed Josip Visnjiccoach of Jove Español, the San Sebastian team’s next rival in the Copa del Rey.
“What I like most about Real is the youth academy policy it has. Zubieta makes it different. A few years ago Athletic made a great offer to Oyarzabal and he stayed. This summer the same thing happened with Zubimendi and Liverpool. “It speaks very well of the love and respect they feel from the club,” commented the Bosnian.
For his part, about Imanol Alguacil, Josip Visnjic said: “We have met when he was directing Sanse. He is a coach who respects everyone. You will not hear him speak ill of anyone nor will you hear anyone speak ill of him.”.

Like Mikel Oyarzabal at Athletic, Martín Zubimendi gave the team a hard time Liverpool this summer. “I have already said many times that our squad is very strong and that it is not easy to find players who are going to strengthen us.“said Arne Slot, coach of the English team, in advance of their debut in the Premier.
“Zubimendi was one of them, but he decided not to comeso let’s go with what we have. Richard (Hughes, Liverpool sporting director) is trying to strengthen the squad, but unfortunately he decided not to come. He did everything he could, but the player did not want to come and it is obvious that he is not going to come“added the Dutchman.
