Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi has cast significant doubt over his future, quashing suggestions that a transfer to Arsenal was on the verge of completion while opening the door to a Real Madrid move.
At the end of May, multiple reports claimed that Arsenal were in the “closing stages” of securing Zubimendi’s signature. The Gunners had supposedly triggered the £51 million ($69 million) release clause in his contract and were poised to conduct a medical for the Spanish midfielder.
