The target of the transfer from Barcelona is grateful to Sergio Busquets and Xavi Hernandez

One of the most exciting names in this list is Martin Zubimendi, who is regarded as one of the best hopefuls in Spanish football. The pivot of Real Sociedad replaces Sergio Busquets, who recently announced his retirement from international soccer.

Busquets made Zubimendi his long-time successor on the national team, and he acknowledged his joy at the 34-year-old lyrics, according to Sport.

I am pleased that players like Busquets are watching players like me. He has been a reference, he is the one who knows the most. I'm glad he said something about me.

For every pivot, Busquets has been the reference of the last few years and there will be many others."

I am pleased that people like Xavi, who has won everything, who is one of those who know the most, are talking about me."

Barcelona was associated with a move for Zubimendi this summer, even if an agreement is unlikely because of their precarious financial situation.
