Arsenal have reportedly finalized their first signing of the June 2025 transfer window, reaching a verbal agreement to acquire Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad. The 25-year-old, a standout deep-lying midfielder in La Liga, has agreed to a long-term contract with the North London club. Arsenal are poised to activate his €60 million release clause soon, a formality to complete the transfer.
Zubimendi, long admired by manager Mikel Arteta for his ball intelligence, defensive nous, and composure, is seen as a key addition to bolster Arsenal’s midfield, especially with Thomas Partey’s future uncertain. The move underscores Arsenal’s intent to strengthen their squad’s core for the 2025/26 season, aiming to build on recent progress and compete for major titles.
Real Sociedad, despite reluctance to lose Zubimendi, are bound by the release clause. His decision to join the Premier League reflects his ambition to elevate his career ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Pending final steps, Zubimendi’s signing marks a bold statement from Arsenal for the upcoming season.
