‘Medical pending’ for the player to finalize his move to Arsenal – Sources indicate the ‘existence’ of signed documents.

‘Player’s medical is pending’ as he prepares to complete his move to Arsenal – Sources suggest that signed documents are indeed ‘in existence.’

On Tuesday, Marca featured a front-page article discussing Real Madrid’s ambition to acquire Real Sociedad’s star, Martín Zubimendi, from Arsenal. They reported that he has not yet given a ‘definitive yes’ to the Gunners, which provides Los Blancos with optimism about securing his services this summer.

In Wednesday’s edition, Marca asserts that Arsenal remains confident in their agreement with the 26-year-old.

Sources close to Arsenal have informed Marca that their situation remains unchanged despite the claims regarding Real Madrid’s interest.

Xabi Alonso’s team entered the competition late, as the midfielder has already reached an agreement with Mikel Arteta’s squad. The north London club emphasizes their existing agreement with both the player and La Real.

Some English sources have informed Marca about the ‘existence of signed documents’, which include additional details beyond the financial aspects of the deal. The newspaper has learned that Arsenal is set to pay €65m, which is €5m above his release clause, in installments.

Arsenal is optimistic about securing Zubimendi’s services and anticipates his participation in their pre-season tour of Asia in July.

Meanwhile, AS elaborates on why the English club is confident about the arrival of the Spain international, despite Real Madrid’s interest.

They report that the Gunners have a ‘pre-agreement’ established with both the player and Real Sociedad.

Arsenal has negotiated a €70m fee [€5m higher than Marca’s report] with the La Liga club as a ‘gesture of goodwill’. This arrangement allows them to pay the fee in installments rather than a lump sum of €60m. The player has also given his consent, ‘though pending a medical’.

The clubs aim to finalize the transfer for the next financial year, which begins on July 1st, hence the delay.

To break Arsenal’s agreement, a club must at least propose €70m.

This is the first requirement, and the second is that they must provide compensation, likely to La Real.

AS mentions these are the ‘two conditions’ that must be met.

In conclusion, Arsenal is optimistic about Zubimendi joining the team, with his medical examination pending to finalize the transfer to the Emirates.
