Arsenal and Bayern Munich are reportedly both eyeing Real Sociedad star Martin Zubimendi, setting the stage for a transfer battle between the Champions League quarter-finalists. The 25-year-old midfielder has caught the attention of both clubs, with Arsenal considering him a top transfer target for the upcoming summer window.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed Arsenal’s interest in Zubimendi but added that they will have to compete with Bayern Munich, who had the Spaniard on top of their list in case Xabi Alonso became their new coach. Zubimendi, one of LaLiga’s leading midfielders, has emerged as a key player for Real Sociedad, leading them to the last-16 of the Champions League this season. Despite his contract with Sociedad running for three more years, Arsenal and Bayern are expected to pursue him aggressively in the transfer market.
The Spain international has expressed his happiness at Sociedad, stating, “I have never planned to leave Real Sociedad, I always say that.” However, the allure of playing in the Premier League for a successful side like Arsenal could be tempting for Zubimendi, setting up an intriguing transfer saga this summer.
