Arsenal are offering 2 of their current players along with £25 million in exchange of their top target. Their target is already been said to have agreed personal terms and is ready to move to Premier League.
Arsenal’s target in question here is Martin Zubimendi. The Real Sociedad star was first linked with move to England in summer. He was being chased by Liverpool alongside Gunners. But, none of the English clubs were able to get the deal over the line.
Gunners are now once again linked with Zubimendi. They are said to have convinced the 25 year old to join them in summer. The Spaniard has €60 million release clause and Sociedad want it to be paid fully. The North London club are now monitoring other options to get the deal over the line.
Arsenal offering 2 players along with cash in exchange of Zubimendi
According to El Nacional, Arsenal are offering £25 million along with Takehiro Tomiyasu and Jakub Kiwior in exchange of Martin Zubimendi. Gunners do have a very good defensive depth but parting ways with Kiwior and Tomiyasu at the same time may still produce mixed results. In addition, Zinchenko is also linked with exit in this month.
Arsenal will be in desperate need to sign midfielders this year. Partey and Jorginho are set to leave as free agents in summer. They both play in same position which makes Zubimendi deal an urgent one. But, the North London club are also in urge t need of quality attackers.
Mikel Arteta wants to add winger and striker along with midfielder. Hence, Gunners are plotting swap deals to overcome financial limitations. However, it will depend on what Sociedad thinks of the deal. If they are not in need of defenders, Gunners will have to pay €60 million or else might miss out on 25 year old once again this year.
