FEE AGREED: Arsenal is poised to outmaneuver Liverpool and Chelsea in securing the £50 million star. The club has agreed to pay his release clause, and the player is preparing to say goodbye to his teammates as he gets ready to join Arsenal.

Arsenal is interested in signing Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi and is prepared to meet his £51 million release clause. However, the Spanish sports newspaper Sport reports that Zubimendi prefers to join either Barcelona or Real Madrid if he leaves Sociedad.

Arsenal has long admired the Spain international and is eager to secure his signature. Despite this, a deal seems unlikely. Sport indicates that while Arsenal is willing to pay the release clause, they are aware that Zubimendi has different future plans.

The 25-year-old midfielder has shown a consistent reluctance to leave Real Sociedad, stating he would only consider a move to Barcelona or Real Madrid. Zubimendi’s commitment to Sociedad remains strong, especially after the team qualified for the Champions League last season despite finishing sixth in La Liga.

Sociedad’s manager, Imanol Alguacil, has confirmed Zubimendi’s desire to stay with the club and expressed confidence in the player’s commitment. Given this situation, it appears Arsenal’s pursuit of Zubimendi is unlikely to succeed, and they may need to look for midfield reinforcements elsewhere.

Arsenal should consider other options in the transfer market. Many talented defensive midfielders are available, some with better distribution skills than Zubimendi. One such player is Everton’s Amadou Onana. The 22-year-old Belgian has impressed with his defensive contributions and has the added advantage of Premier League experience. Onana could be a more realistic and beneficial target for Arsenal as they look to strengthen their squad.
