Arsenal has reached an agreement with Real Sociedad to sign midfielder Martin Zubimendi, with the club set to pay slightly more than his €60 million release clause. The final fee is expected to be higher, but structured in installments.
This arrangement was made possible due to the strong working relationship between the two clubs, which helped ease the negotiation process. By agreeing to stagger the payments, Arsenal ensures flexibility in their financial planning while securing one of La Liga’s top midfield talents.
Zubimendi has been on Arsenal’s radar for months, praised for his composure on the ball, defensive awareness, and consistent performances with Real Sociedad. This signing marks another strategic move by Arsenal as they continue strengthening their squad for the upcoming season.
The Spanish international is expected to play a key role in Mikel Arteta’s midfield setup, offering depth and technical quality in the heart of the pitch.
