Real Sociedad's president Jokin Aperribay anticipates losing midfielder Martin Zubimendi to Arsenal, following Zubimendi's previous decision to stay with the club rather than accept a Liverpool offer. With a £60 million release clause attracting Arsenal, there is mounting speculation around his potential transfer. Aperribay urges Zubimendi to focus on finishing the season strongly first, emphasizing that the player will decide his future based on willpower. While real Madrid also covets Zubimendi, recent reports suggest he prefers a move to Arsenal.
Zubimendi has reached the point where a transfer to a bigger stage is inevitable and Arsenal are heavy favourites for his signing.
"All I ask of [Zubimendi] is one last effort to qualify for Europe and whatever happens, will happen in June."
Zubimendi's 60m release clause is attractive to Arsenal, allowing them to bypass negotiations with Sociedad.
"If he wants to continue, the conversation will last five minutes. I don't know if it's difficult for him to stay."
