Liverpool was previously interested in the 26-year-old Spaniard, who has been a significant player at Real Sociedad since his first-team debut in 2019. Liverpool was prepared to activate his £51 million release clause last summer. Nevertheless, he elected to remain in San Sebastián for an additional season.Ornstein is sceptical of Arsenal’s likelihood of acquiring two midfielders, despite the fact that Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimarães has also been mentioned.

 

 

 

Nevertheless, Zubimendi’s entrance would serve as a significant declaration of intent for the club as it endeavours to fortify its roster for the 2025/26 season. Zubimendi continues to be a highly esteemed midfield talent, despite Sociedad’s lacklustre season and their recent Europa League elimination at the hands of Manchester United. He has been compared to Jorginho in terms of his playing style, as his technical ability and intelligence in possession render him an ideal match for Arteta’s system.
