Recent reports suggest that Arsenal has reached a full agreement to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, with the midfielder expected to complete his medical shortly. This development has brought excitement to Arsenal fans, who have followed the club’s long-standing interest in the Spaniard with great anticipation.
Zubimendi has been a consistent performer in La Liga and has caught the attention of top clubs across Europe. He is regarded as one of the finest midfielders available this summer, and his addition would be a huge boost for Mikel Arteta’s side as they prepare for another competitive season.
Arsenal closing in on key target
The agreement appears to be in place between all parties, with only formalities left before an official announcement is made. Zubimendi is believed to have chosen Arsenal as the ideal destination for the next stage of his career, which speaks volumes about the project being built at the Emirates.
The Gunners are eager to strengthen their midfield options and have identified Zubimendi as a player who fits the profile they are looking for. His ability to control the tempo of matches and operate with tactical discipline makes him a valuable asset for a side looking to challenge for trophies.
Deal delay could benefit both clubs
However, according to Dario Vasco, the finalisation of the move might be pushed into July for financial reasons. The report states that both Arsenal and Real Sociedad would prefer to record the transaction in the next financial year, which begins in July. This approach would give both clubs greater flexibility with their current financial reports.
Although this delay is understandable from an accounting perspective, Arsenal must ensure no other club takes advantage of the situation. With Zubimendi already giving his approval, it is vital for the Gunners to secure his signature as soon as possible and avoid any last-minute complications.

With the Catalán Giants in their financial woes coupling with the fact of an abundance of midfielders at their disposal, only the cemetery of talents possess that deadly threat.
Though Real Madrid like Barcelona has abundance of midfielders, that won’t stop the Bernabeu giant from spoiling a party 🙂
I agree. If this deal was going to happen, if Berta really wanted him, would happen now. Arsenal don’t need a risk of waiting until next seasons finances, that only plays into Reals hands.
Zubimendi isn’t coming. He clearly wants to stay in Spain and play for Real. Real convince him that’s it’s not this window but later window as part of their plan, he’ll just stay put at current club as part of the Real plan.
No loss. There’s loads out there who can do Zubimendi as well as Zubimendi’.
Moon Girl, if he’s not coming then why is having a medical with our medical team ?
Mr Drier, you sure he’s in London for a medical, and sunbathing in San Sebastián?
Also Agreeing a contract with player does not mean a Transfer is certain. Arsenal have agreed a contract with a man called Joan a year ago, the player now tying up a deal with Newcastle.
Only when contract is signed with player and agreement with a selling club officially cleared, does a player join you.
Moon Girl, he doesn’t have to be at London Colney. The medical could be happening in Spain. Also Alonso has been told he can’t sign a No6, so that seems to rule them out of signing Zubimendi.
Waiting till July to sign the contract may well help both clubs in relation to FFP and PSR.
Would that Joan be Joan Garcia by any chance ? As of now Barcelona appear to be in the race to sign him.
