Martin Zubimendi will be the first signature of the summer transfer window in Arsenal.
The agreement is already in place. While waiting to sign all the documents, with the formalities of the agreement which will take place at the end of the season.
For what? Because Martin Zubimendi is a better professional and a big fan of Real Sociedad. He wants to respect the club until the end, so he will not sign anything before. But verbally, everything is agreed between the Real Sociedad and Arsenal clubs.
How much will Arsenal pay for Martin Zubimendi?
Arsenal will pay the amount of the release clause (€ 60 million [£50.4m]) with an agreement concluded with Real Sociedad for this.
So everything will be in place in the coming weeks. Zubimenddi will be the first signature for Arsenal under the new director, Andrea Berta.
The agreement was approved a long time ago by the coach, Mikel Arteta, who always wanted Zubimendi, who still considered Zubimenddi as an important part of the future project.
After saying no to Bayern, in Liverpool and several other clubs in recent years, he has now decided to say “yes”, to leave Real Sociedad and to join Arsenal in the summer transfer window.
It will be the first signature for the Gunners!
