Arsenal is willing to make a significant investment in the transfer market and has put 150 million euros on the table to incorporate Alexander Isak and Martín Zubimendi. Mikel Arteta wants to strengthen both the attack and midfield for the upcoming season, and both players fit into his plans to reinforce a team aiming to consolidate among the best in Europe.
The London club has set its sights on the Newcastle striker and the Real Sociedad midfielder, players who have also been linked with FC Barcelona. However, the financial capacity of the English allows them to proceed decisively, while Barcelona remains constrained by its financial limitations.
Arsenal wants to sign Alexander Isak and Martín Zubimendi
Zubimendi is a priority in midfield for Arteta, who is looking for a central midfielder with vision and distribution skills. The player's release clause amounts to 60 million euros, a figure that Arsenal is ready to pay without the need for negotiations with Real Sociedad. His addition would strengthen the midfield alongside Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard.
On the other hand, Isak is the striker that Arteta considers ideal to raise the team's offensive level. The Swede has excelled at Newcastle, and his scoring ability makes him an attractive option for the Gunners. The English are willing to pay the 120 million demanded by the Magpies, which would complicate any future attempt by Barça to sign him.
If Arsenal finalizes these operations, it will make a statement in the market and leave Barcelona without two of its main targets. Arteta is making a strong move and aims to secure both signings before the preseason.
