The San Sebastian footballer has been linked to some of the most important clubs in European football for months and now the leader of the Premier League is willing to make a large financial outlay for his signing
The last days of the January transfer market are being hectic and proof of this is what happened at Real Sociedad. As we have learned, the Arsenal was willing to pay the termination clause of Martin Zubimendi, but it has been the footballer himself who has decided to reject this option. In this way, the young 23-year-old footballer will not, for now, head to the Premier League.
He would have done it by leaving 60 million euros in the coffers of the club that trained him as a footballer, leaving the team in third position in the league and heading towards the leader of the Premier League. But not even for those reasons has the Gunner team managed to convince the player. That is why, after the rejection of zubimendithe Arsenal He has set his eyes on other footballers from the San Sebastian club.
Arsenal, for another Real Sociedad player after Zubimendi’s no
Martín Zubimendi’s idea is to end the current season in the Real society, having as great objectives to finish in the Champions League and lift another title, be it the Copa del Rey or the Europa League. After this, he will evaluate his future, because next summer teams like Arsenal himself or FC Barcelona will continue to be willing to pay his termination clause.
Meanwhile, the Gunners team will continue to look for reinforcements and now they have set their sights on another footballer coached by Imanol Alguacil, who turns everything he touches into gold. This footballer would be Brais Méndez, who is completing the best season of his career, having scored 10 goals and distributed 7 assists in the 27 games he has played this year.
Brais Méndez, the last-minute bomb prepared by Arsenal
After Real Sociedad paid 14 million euros for his transfer last summer, the footballer from Mos has exploded. His season is being extraordinary at all levels and many did not understand his absence at the World Cup in Qatar. Something that shows the interest of the leader of the Premier League, who is willing to throw the house out the window with the signing of him.
Like Zubimendi, his release clause amounts to 60 million euros and Arsenal is willing to pay for it. Mikel Arteta is the main supporter of the footballer in the London team, which is looking for more reinforcements for the second half of the season in which the Premier League will be played. Something that in turn motivates Brais Méndez, who seriously considers his future at Real Sociedad given the opportunity of a project like that of the Gunners.
