ARSENAL REACH VERBAL AGREEMENT WITH ZUBIMENDI! GUNNERS NEAR £51M DEAL FOR REAL SOCIEDAD MIDFIELD STAR
Arsenal are closing in on a major midfield addition after reaching personal terms with Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi. The Spanish international has long been on the Gunners' radar, and the North London club now appear to be in pole position to seal a deal worth around £51 million.
Gunners Move Ahead of Rivals
Zubimendi, known for his composure on the ball and tactical intelligence, has been admired by several top European clubs, including Barcelona and Bayern Munich. However, Arsenal’s persistence and clarity of vision have seemingly convinced the 25-year-old that the Emirates is the right destination for the next chapter of his career.
With personal terms already agreed, the focus now shifts to finalising negotiations with Real Sociedad. The midfielder's release clause is set at £51 million, and Arsenal are expected to activate it if no compromise is reached in talks.
Arteta Eyes Midfield Reinforcement
Mikel Arteta has made bolstering his midfield a top priority this summer. With Thomas Partey facing an uncertain future and ongoing concerns about squad depth, Zubimendi is seen as the ideal long-term solution in the holding midfield role.
His La Liga experience, coupled with his ability to dictate tempo and provide defensive stability, would offer Arteta more tactical flexibility alongside Declan Rice.
A Statement Signing
Should Arsenal complete the move, Zubimendi would become one of the club's marquee signings of the summer window. The deal would also signal Arsenal’s intent to not only compete domestically but make a serious impact in the Champions League next season.
The transfer is not yet finalized, but with personal terms agreed and the player open to the move, Arsenal are confident of getting it done before pre-season begins.
