Barcelona remain divided over a move for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi months after Arsenal failed with a £53million transfer bid.
Zubimendi, 24, has a £53million (€60m) release clause in his contract at the Basque club and has no shortage of admirers both in La Liga and the Premier League. A product of Real Sociedad’s youth system, he has made 142 first-team appearances for the club.
Capped once for the Spanish national team, the deep-lying midfielder has developed into one of the highest performers in the Spanish top flight and has been suggested as a long-term replacement for the outgoing Sergio Busquets at Barca.
