Arsenal confirm Martin Zubimendi signing from Real Sociedad

NORTH LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 6 – Arsenal triggered Zubimendi's £60 million release clause, making him their second summer signing amid midfield reinforcements following recent squad challenges, manager Mikel Arteta confirmed.

  • On July 6, 2025, Arsenal announced the acquisition of 26-year-old defensive midfielder Martín Zubimendi, who joined from La Liga club Real Sociedad.
  • Zubimendi attracted interest from top European clubs including Real Madrid and Liverpool due to his strong performances in LaLiga and Euro 2024.
  • He made 236 appearances for Sociedad, progressed through their youth system, helped win the delayed 2019-20 Copa del Rey, and played a key role in Spain's Euro 2024 success.
  • Manager Mikel Arteta praised Zubimendi's football intelligence and consistency, saying he has "all the attributes to be a key player for us" and brings great quality to the team.
  • The signing enhances Arsenal's midfield following recent departures and reunites Zubimendi with Mikel Merino, another ex-Real Sociedad player now at the club, while additional midfield signings are anticipated.
