On 24 July 2020, Zubimendi renewed his contract with the Txuri-urdin until 2025, being definitively promoted to the main squad.[6]

International career

Zubimendi represented the Spain under-19s in a friendly 2–1 loss to the Portugal under-19s on 15 November 2017.[7]

Due to the isolation of some national team players following the positive COVID-19 test of Sergio Busquets, Spain's under-21 squad were called up for the international friendly against Lithuania on 8 June 2021.[8] Zubimendi made his senior debut in the match.[9]
