However, Foot Mercato says Real Madrid are also in contact with the player's camp - and is favoured by the 26 year-old.
Zubimendi famously saw an offer from Liverpool accepted by La Real last year, but turned down the move.
The midfielder's deal with La Real runs to 2027 and carries a €60m buyout clause.
Zubimendi has come right through Real Sociedad's youth system and is currently in his 14th year with the club.
