Arsenal Admits Frustruation In Signing La Liga Star

Arsenal is prepared to turn their focus to other targets as they are dissatisfied with the lack of progress in their pursuit of Martin Zubimendi.

The €60 million-rated Spaniard appears to be dead set on moving to Real Madrid or Barcelona.

Since rising through the Real Sociedad junior ranks, Zubimendi has established himself as a key member of the first team.

In recent months, there has been a lot of interest in the services of the defensive midfielder due to his continuous performance for them.

Among the teams keeping a close eye on the Spain international is Arsenal, who is eager to sign him before the upcoming campaign begins.

He is the top target for the Gunners this summer.

Mikel Arteta is looking to add a player who can establish a solid combination in the middle of the park alongside Declan Rice.

His initial pick to bolster the midfield is the Spaniard, Zubimendi, whom he greatly admires.

For some time now, the North Londoners have been putting a lot of effort into a possible transfer, says The Hard Tackle

Arsenal Admits Frustruation In Summer Move For Zubimendi

But in the last few weeks, things have stagnated. Arsenal is upset with the slow pace of development.

The Spaniard has not yet approved the move, but they are prepared to activate his €60 million release clause if necessary.

The Gunners have told the player’s camp that they are prepared to move on if he declines their advances as the deal has drawn out. It appears that Arsenal is prepared to give up on this goal and turn their focus to others.

The 25-year-old is rumored to desire to sign with Real Madrid or Barcelona in the Emirates.

Despite being connected to Zubimendi, Los Blancos may decide not to pursue him this summer.

The Catalan giants are in the process of working on a potential transaction, but they are facing challenges due to the associated economics.

Imanol Alguacil, the manager of Real Sociedad, is optimistic that his star midfield player would stay with the team for at least another season.
