Martin Zubimendi, a 27-year-old midfielder, could leave Arsenal in this transfer market if an offer that satisfies the English club arrives. According to Mirror, the arrival of Bruno Guimarães for 75 million pounds threatens to reduce his minutes and has raised questions about his continuity under Mikel Arteta.

Arsenal's position does not mean that Zubimendi is officially for sale. The Spaniard is under contract until 2030, and other reports from England suggest that the club still wants to keep him, although there are already teams monitoring any changes in his situation.

Martin Zubimendi's role diminishes with Guimarães' arrival

The main change in Mikel Arteta's plans is the inclusion of Guimarães. The Brazilian has joined from Newcastle for 75 million pounds and can play both as a holding midfielder and in more advanced positions, providing more options for the coach.

Zubimendi had a significant role in the last Premier League. The Spanish international played 38 matches, scored 5 goals, and provided 1 assist in the league, accumulating over 4,000 minutes across all competitions during the season.

However, that heavy workload may change in the new season. Sky Sports reports that both Zubimendi and Declan Rice exceeded 4,000 minutes, but with Guimarães' arrival, Arteta now has a player capable of playing the number six role, acting as an eight, or forming part of a double pivot.

Arsenal's scenario aims to prevent a player with a long contract and limited playing time from losing value in the market. According to Mirror, a financially significant offer could lead the club to consider a sale in the remaining weeks of the transfer window.

Arsenal sets high demands for Zubimendi

Nevertheless, a departure is not guaranteed at any price. Recent reports indicate that Arsenal values him at a minimum of 90 million euros, significantly more than the approximate 60 million spent to sign him from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2025.

The uncertainty has captured the attention of potential buyers. Real Madrid is monitoring the midfielder after showing interest before his move to England, while Chelsea has also been linked to the player in recent days. Although there were links to Real Madrid, Mourinho has halted Zubimendi's transfer.

The sporting context explains why his name is back in the market just a year after joining the Premier League. Guimarães joins a midfield where Arteta also relies on Rice, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Merino, and Myles Lewis-Skelly, along with other players who can play in central positions.

The next steps depend on the offers that come in before the transfer window closes. Martin Zubimendi is under contract until 2030, and Arsenal is not compelled to sell him, but an offer close to the club's valuation could turn competition for playing time into a market operation.
