Over the past few weeks, Arsenal and Real Madrid have been credited with interest in Real Sociedad’s Martín Zubimendi.
Last month, we covered claims from Spain which stated Arsenal had informed Los Blancos they have agreed the midfielder’s arrival.
Radio Marca’s Buenas Noches y Buenos Goles shares updates on Arsenal, Real Madrid and the 26-year-old’s stance on transfer.
Journalist Felipe del Campo has provided the latest information and claims the player is set to leave La Real after this season. He adds the Gunners are ‘winning the race’ for the Spain international.
The journalist further states: “The best-placed team in the race for Martín is Arsenal.”
Real Madrid are currently second in the table, four points behind leaders Barcelona. They crashed out of the Champions League and lost to the Catalan club in the Copa del Rey final.
Carlo Ancelotti’s future remains uncertain, and Del Campo claims Real Madrid are waiting to find out about Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso’s plans. Their manager for next season will decide whether to sign Zubimendi in the upcoming window.
This allows Mikel Arteta’s side to work behind the scenes to try and soon wrap up this transfer. In this way, Del Campo explains Zubimendi’s future would be closer to the north London club.
