Premier League
Arsenal and Liverpool have set their sights on Martin Zubimendi as a key reinforcement for their respective midfields, putting them in a direct battle to secure the talented player from Real Sociedad. The Gunners aim to establish a dynamic midfield trio with Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard, while the Reds see the Spanish midfielder as a luxury option to compete with Ryan Gravenberch, whose performance has significantly improved under the guidance of Arne Slot at Anfield.
Despite the interest from these Premier League giants, the chances of Zubimendi leaving the Basque club in the winter transfer market are slim. With a valid contract and a key role in Imanol Alguacil's team, the 25-year-old midfielder looks to be a crucial piece for Real Sociedad in their quest to establish themselves among the best in La Liga and in European competitions.
The Premier League vies for Zubimendi
After strengthening their midfield with Declan Rice, Arsenal is seeking a profile like Zubimendi's to provide solidity and vision, while Liverpool continues its search for a natural replacement for Thiago Alcántara, who left the club after his contract expired. However, Zubimendi has shown a clear preference for staying in Spain, and reportedly even values a potential future at Real Madrid more than an immediate move to England.
While January doesn't seem like the right time for his departure, the upcoming summer transfer window could present new opportunities. Facing competition from Real Madrid will be a significant challenge for Arsenal and Liverpool, as they will need to offer attractive projects both in terms of sports and economics if they want to add one of the most coveted midfielders in La Liga.
