Arsenal is considering signing Spanish midfielder Zubimendi to strengthen their team in the midfield position. Zubimendi has a €60 million release clause in his contract that can be activated in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Although he has indicated that he may not stay at Real Sociedad for his entire career, the final decision about his future remains uncertain. Meanwhile, Xabi Alonso has chosen to stay at Bayer Leverkusen, potentially diminishing Arsenal’s appeal for a move to the Allianz Arena.

Considering the competitive market for Zubimendi, Arsenal is also exploring other potential midfield recruits. Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz has been on their radar for some time, but the club is determined to retain the Brazilian and is expected to resist any attempts to sign him.
