Reader Affirms: Real Sociedad is actively preparing for the departure of Martín Zubimendi, whose future seems to be far from San Sebastián. Arsenal would have taken a step ahead in the negotiations, taking advantage of its release clause of 60 million euros, an affordable sum for the Gunners. Other stables, such as Manchester City or Liverpool, have already shown interest in the past, but it is Mikel Arteta who makes Spanish a priority to strengthen his environment.
On the side of the Basque club, the replacement of the midfielder would already be prepared, through Jon Gorrotxategi, loaned to Mirandés and author of a convincing season. But the current 10th of Liga could also recruit another reinforcement in this position to compensate for this major departure, since Zubimendi is one of the pillars of the Basque workforce.
