Arsenal is willing to consider the departure of Martín Zubimendi, a 27-year-old Spanish midfielder, just one season after signing him from Real Sociedad. Mikel Arteta has more midfield options following the arrival of Bruno Guimarães, and the English club would listen to significant offers for the Spanish international.

The scenario has changed during this summer. Zubimendi had a significant role in his first season in London, but his importance decreased towards the end, and Arsenal has set a price tag close to 90 million euros to consider a sale.

Arsenal Opens the Door for Zubimendi

Zubimendi joined Arsenal on July 6, 2025 after leaving Real Sociedad. The English team made an investment close to 60 million pounds to bring him in and make him a key piece in Arteta's midfield.

His first season saw high participation. The Spaniard played in all 38 Premier League matches and scored 5 goals in a campaign that ended with Arsenal winning the English title.

However, his prominence decreased in the final weeks of the season. Zubimendi found himself on the bench in several crucial matches and was not a starter in the Champions League final, coinciding with accumulated fatigue after a season with heavy minutes.

Mikel Arteta Increases Competition in Midfield

The arrival of Bruno Guimarães has altered the expected distribution of minutes for the 2026/27 season. The Brazilian landed in London for around 87 million euros, providing more options for Mikel Arteta alongside Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard, and Zubimendi himself. 

The depth of the squad was evident in the Community Shield against Manchester City. Arsenal won 3-0, and Arteta had various combinations in midfield, now richer in resources compared to the previous season.

Zubimendi was available for that match after returning to training later due to his involvement in the World Cup. The Spaniard conquered the tournament with Spain on July 19 before rejoining the Arsenal squad.

Arsenal Requests Around 90 Million

The London club is not looking to facilitate a departure at any cost. Figures in England suggest a minimum valuation around 90 million euros, a sum higher than what was invested in his signing just a year ago.

Real Madrid is among the teams monitoring his situation in August. The Spanish club considers the Spanish international as a potential addition to their midfield, taking advantage of the new scenario arising in London.

The final decision will depend on the quality of offers received before the transfer deadline. Arsenal has increased competition in Zubimendi's position and is willing to consider a sale if they receive an offer close to those 90 million euros, making the Spaniard one of the names to watch in the final weeks of August.
