Arsenal Announcement
We are very honored to announce that Spanish international Zubimendi has signed a long-term contract with us.
Zubimedi, who was only 26 years old, transferred from Real Sociedad. During his time with the team, he has made 236 appearances for the first team in various competitions. In the 2022/23 season, as the absolute main force of the team, he helped Real Sociedad achieve the highest league ranking in recent years, and finally ended the season with a fourth place. This is also the third time in the team's history and the first time in 10 years to qualify for the Champions League.
As a Spanish international, Zubimendi started in all five games of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, helping Spain win the silver medal. Since then, he has made 19 appearances for the Spanish national team, helping the team win the 2023 European League championship, and making it a stand-alone substitute in the 2024 European Cup, helping the team win the championship with a 2-1 victory over England.
All members of Arsenal welcome Zubimendi to the club.
This transfer must be officially taken into effect after the relevant regulatory procedures are completed.
According to Romano, Arsenal will pay the transfer fee in installments, which is slightly higher than the termination fee of 60 million euros in Zubimendi's contract, with a total price of about 64-65 million euros. According to Spanish news, Zubimendi signed a five-year contract with Arsenal.
Zubimedi is from Real Sociedad youth training and mainly plays as a midfielder on the court. So far, he has made 236 appearances for Real Sociedad's first team, scoring 10 goals and 9 assists.
