Real Madrid intercepts Hu Zubimendi? Romano: He is about to become an Arsenal player

From the winter window transfer, Zubimendi has been associated with Arsenal because Arteta hopes to use him to strengthen the team's midfield. The 26-year-old has a £51 million termination clause in his contract with Real Sociedad, which Arsenal is willing to trigger. However, this transfer is not a sure thing. With Real Madrid's joining, Zubimendi's future has become confusing.

On Sunday, Spanish media Ass reported that the Spanish international, who won the 2024 European Cup, has become a key transfer target for Real Madrid and its new coach Xavi Alonso. It is reported that Real Madrid is preparing to launch a "final impact" on the midfielder, and the club believes that he is the best choice in the transfer market at present.

It is reported that Alonso worked with Zubimendi when coaching Real Sociedad Team B, and he made it clear that Zubimendi is a player he hopes to join the team. Zubimendi had previously called Alonso his “idol,” which could be another factor when choosing his next club.

However, transfer reporter Romano gave Arsenal fans a reassurance. On the official YouTube channel, Romano explained: “There will be a lot of talk about Zubimendi’s transfer, and I respect all the sources of this story because any team can try to bring him in until the last minute before the deal is officially finalized.

" From the Spanish media, they are convinced that Real Madrid is trying to sign Zubimendi. Until the deal is officially signed, Real Madrid can keep trying to intercept the bell until the last moment. But as far as I understand, Martin Zubimendi has reached an agreement on joining Arsenal and is about to become a new player to Arsenal. He reached an agreement with the Gunners a long time ago. I said ‘coming to be reached’ a few months ago because I heard that Zubimendi accepted all the terms offered by Arsenal. He has spoken with Mikel Arteta and he hopes to wait until the official steps are completed to respect Real Sociedad until the end of the season.

"The deal has been made. They have exchanged all the relevant documents and are now just waiting for a physical examination, signing, taking pictures, and then Zubimendi will become an Arsenal player." However, Romano also warned Arsenal fans, adding: "If Real Madrid or any other club can change this with documents ready, football is like a lot of things... Never say never. But Arsenal is sure he will be their player this summer."
