Overview

  • Martin Zubimendi has reportedly agreed to join Arsenal, with the club preparing to activate his £51 million release clause at the end of the season.
  • The Spanish midfielder previously rejected a move to Liverpool in the summer of 2024, opting to remain at his boyhood club, Real Sociedad.
  • Arsenal remain cautious about the verbal agreement, given Zubimendi’s history of backing out of a Premier League transfer.
  • If completed, Zubimendi will become Arsenal’s second signing from Real Sociedad in consecutive seasons, following Mikel Merino’s transfer in August 2024.
  • Zubimendi’s performances for Spain during Euro 2024 bolstered his market value, making him a key target in Arsenal’s midfield rebuild under Mikel Arteta.
