The search for a new midfielder by Arsenal has taken an interesting turn. According to Mundo Deportivo, the team could have already moved to persuade Real Sociedad to split ways with Martin Zubimendi. Zubimendi has been a great performer for Sociedad and is valued at €60 million. Barcelona is interested in him. Rumours suggest, nevertheless, that he would consider departing this summer, particularly if Arsenal makes a strong offer.
Presumably dominating the competition for Zubimendi’s signing are the Gunners, who are renowned for their audacious transfer efforts. Arsenal is a strong candidate for the title if they have the money to meet his release clause. But with all the talk about Zubimendi, there are rumours that the team may not be giving him first consideration for the midfield role.
Arsenal Has Come Out With An Offer For The €60m Midfielder
Alternative sources, in fact, suggest that Arsenal’s transfer plan has a wider reach. These include other possible targets like Everton’s Amadou Onana and Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong. Arsenal is still very much interested in Zubimendi. They do have doubts surrounding their major midfield target, which shows their will to strengthen their team for the next campaign.
With Arsenal at the center of the conjecture, the story of Martin Zubimendi’s future seems to be one full of surprises as the transfer window draws near. One thing is certain, though: the Gunners are looking for midfield reinforcements and Zubimendi is very much on their radar, whether they decide to sign him or choose other choices.
Though it’s hard to say, Arsenal seems to be committed to improving their midfield given their interest in Zubimendi. If things work out, they could land him since they have the money to satisfy his release clause. But things might become complicated by rivalry from other teams and other objectives. Zubimendi could decide to go if Arsenal can persuade him they are the best match for his professional development. It’s a speculative and uncertain waiting game until then, however.
Raphinha news:
Former Barcelona star Raphinha is reportedly considering a return to the Premier League, according a TBR Football story. The story claims that offers for the Brazilian international have been made to teams like Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, and Newcastle.
Raphinha had already shown his abilities with Leeds United. Hence the possibility of his returning to English football at the conclusion of the current campaign gives the impending transfer market an interesting twist. Particularly Arsenal would profit much from his presence as they want to add a top-notch winger to their team. To Arsenal’s offensive team, Raphinha’s addition would surely bring goals and inventiveness. His mobility makes him a great attacking midfielder or on either wing.
Considering that Barcelona paid £50 million to get Raphinha, it is expected that they would want for a high return on their investment. Negotiations for his relocation will thus probably include important financial factors. The possibility of Raphinha returning to the Premier League not only gives teams a chance to improve their offensive capabilities but also stokes conjecture among both supporters and experts. With his track record in English football, Raphinha’s possible transfer is expected to be one of the main topics of discussion during the next transfer window.
