In recent months, Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad has been strongly linked to Arsenal.
Bayern Munich is now “afraid of the Gunners and afraid that Mikel Arteta could take this player away” as a result of this.
Now, Fabrizio Romano has offered another update regarding Zubimendi that again involves Arsenal and is posted on CaughtOffside.
The 24-year-old is not aiming to leave Sociedad this month, the transfer insider has confirmed, although things might be “different” in the summer.
According to Romano, Barcelona is interested in Zubimendi “if they have the money to invest in him,” and Arsenal and Bayern Munich will also be pursuing him.
The Italian wrote: “Zubimendi is not planning to leave Real Sociedad in the winter transfer window.
“In the summer, things can be different. Bayern and Arsenal, I believe, will be present.
The folks at Barcelona have always been appreciative of him. But let’s wait and see if Barca would pursue Zubimendi and whether they have the funds to do so.
“I believe that Zubimendi will be considered by these three clubs, but I don’t see him leaving Real Sociedad given this significant Champions League opportunity.”
A Terrific Shoutout To Martin Zubimendi For Arsenal
Arsenal could benefit from adding more players to their midfield in the next transfer windows.
The injury history of Thomas Partey is worrisome, while opinions on Fabio Vieira and Albert Sambi Lokonga, a Luton loanee, are still pending.
Arsenal would be really fortunate to acquire Zubimendi. The £53 million player is a good pick for the summer, even though it would be nearly impossible to sign him in January.
Without a doubt, the Gunners will keep an eye on the player. Then, there’s a strong likelihood that in the upcoming months, there will be a lot more transfer rumors linking the Gunners and Zubimendi.
