Arsenal has reportedly reached an agreement with Real Sociedad to secure the signing of Martín Zubimendi, a Spanish midfielder who will join Mikel Arteta's team at the end of the season, as reported by Daily Mail. After months of tracking by the London club, negotiations have progressed significantly, and everything indicates that the transfer is practically a done deal.

The 25-year-old midfielder, one of the standout players at Real Sociedad and a key figure in the Spanish national team, has a release clause of 60 million euros, a figure that Arsenal is willing to activate. Despite interest from other clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool, the "Gunners" seem to have definitively taken the lead in the operation.

The addition of Zubimendi reinforces Arsenal's policy of betting on established talent in midfield. This move adds to the acquisitions of Declan Rice in 2023 and Mikel Merino, Zubimendi's teammate at Real Sociedad, in 2024. Both players have been crucial in Arteta's sporting planning as he aims to build a competitive team in the long term.

They Will Pay His Full Release Clause

Despite immediate forward injury concerns, Arsenal's priority has been to secure Zubimendi as soon as possible. However, Real Sociedad has made it clear that the player will remain at the club until the end of the current season. It is worth noting that Arsenal will pay his full release clause, that is, 60 million euros, as it has been a specific request from Mikel Arteta, who aims to enhance the Gunners' midfield with a quality player.
