Fabrizio Romano confirms Arsenal interest in La Liga star – but player 'super happy' at current club

Real Sociedade could be busy this summer, with some of their best players coming under strong interest from clubs across Europe. Robin Le Normand and Mikel Merino have all been linked with departures, while Martin Zubimendi also has the possibility of leaving the Basque club at the end of the season.

Zubimendi is one of the best defensive midfielders in Europe, something that Arsenal and Bayern Munich are aware. Both clubs are keen on the 25-year-old, who is also highly regarded at Barcelona. However, Fabrizio Romano said The Daily Briefing that Zubimendi is very happy in Donostia-San Sebastian.

“Martin Zubimendi is still super happy at Real Sociedad. He likes the club, the city, the fans. No problem.

“Of course, if a club activates its release clause, it will be up to the player to decide the next move, but it is certainly on the list at Arsenal and Bayern (I never said that Bayern was unlikely, only that he was a top. target in case Alonso joined and now it will depend on the new coach).

“So, we wait and see about the movements in the summer, but Zubimendi is not pushed to leave. However, in case of proposals, consider his future.”

Zubimendi reaffirmed his commitment Real society on several occasions last summer, but with no Champions League football to come next season, his thoughts might be different this time around.
