Zubimendi was wanted by Liverpool in the summer, but rejected the Anfield side.

Asked about Manchester City wanting to sign him, the 25-year-old stated: "So far I have thought that the best thing was to be at my club.

“I am looking for my personal growth and I still have a lot to give to Real."

“I don’t want to anticipate anything,” Zubimendi added of replacing City’s injured star Rodri in the Spain starting lineup.

“The manager decides. There are two of us for that position. It’s a shame that it’s due to injury and even more so when he’s a vital player for this team.

“An opportunity has opened up and we will have to take advantage of it.”
