Arsenal Eyeing £50 Million Deal for Midfield Maestro Zubimendi
Arsenal is gearing up for potential January transfers, with the latest buzz surrounding their interest in Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi. The Gunners, led by manager Mikel Arteta, are reportedly considering activating the £50 million release clause in Zubimendi’s contract to secure his signature.
Arsenal’s pursuit of Zubimendi dates back to last year, with their initial attempt to sign him falling through. Despite the setback, the North London club seems determined to bolster their midfield by reigniting their interest in the 24-year-old Spaniard.
Spanish outlet Sport has reported that Arsenal is willing to meet the £50 million release clause stipulated in Zubimendi’s current contract. The midfielder’s contract with Real Sociedad extends until the summer of 2027, indicating the Gunners’ commitment to securing his services.
Arsenal faces competition from other major clubs, with La Liga giants Barcelona also expressing interest in Zubimendi. The race for his signature could determine which club activates the release clause first. Despite the challenges, Sociedad has a growing belief that the midfielder might be on the move either in January or at the end of the season.
Having spent his entire career at Sociedad, Zubimendi’s potential departure would mark a significant step in his football journey. Joining the club at the age of 12, the holding midfielder might seek assurances of playing time and a smooth transition if he decides to change leagues.
The potential signing of a midfielder in January might surprise some, considering Arsenal’s well-documented need for attacking reinforcements. However, Arteta has hinted that a mega-money striker’s arrival this month is unlikely. The focus seems to be on improving the existing squad and changing the team’s momentum, as emphasized by Arteta after their recent FA Cup elimination.
