Martin Zubimendi is a coveted signing for most top European clubs, and Arsenal is among them.
Who wouldn’t want to sign a midfielder from Spain when he is one of the top players in his position in La Liga?
The Real Sociedad man could have left his current club last summer, but he chose to stay and help them in the Champions League.
Arsenal is looking to enhance their options with him in the summer, but they face competition from several other clubs.
Barcelona and Bayern Munich have also been tracking him for months and will give Arsenal a run for their money.
However, Fabrizio Romano has delivered an update on his future, and Arsenal seems to be leading the race now.
The transfer insider says Barca’s interest is not yet serious, while Bayern’s interest is now uncertain after Xabi Alonso announced he will remain at Bayer Leverkusen.
They were planning to sign Zubimendi if Alonso became their next manager, but circumstances have changed.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Zubimendi seems like a player who will add more quality to our squad and keep us around the top of the Premier League table.
The midfielder is attracting attention from the top teams because of his quality, and we should do our best to secure his signature.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.
Zubimendi looks like a player made for arsenal and hope we can sign de jong or onana or both that midfield would be crazy but the other two are kind of dream signing we need to fortify other positions in the team
The question that begs the answer is, why did Zubimendi choose to remain at his RSO club to help them in the Ucl? But turned down joining Arsenal to help them in the Ucl?
If RSO still want to keep Zubimendi next season. I don’t think he will be interested to join Arsenal next summer.
Arteta should not have Arsenal signed him for his squad next summer by offering a tempting above the odds transfer fee to RSO for his signing. Which they can’t turn down but accept to sell him to Arsenal.
But since he doesn’t want to join Arsenal. I will suggest that, Arteta SHOULD not force the issue to have Arsenal signed him for his team squad next summer.
Yes MARTIN, I believe and have all along that we ARE really interested in Zubumendi and hopefully will be able to land him!
