Mart\u00edn Zubimendi’s future remains uncertain, despite strong rumors linking him to Arsenal. The player has stated that he is still unsure where he will play next season, thus opening up a range of possibilities for his future.<\/p>\n\n

The Real Sociedad and Spanish national team midfielder has acknowledged that the new Real Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso, is his “idol”.<\/p>\n\n

Arsenal has been working on a possible transfer of the player for several months, and sources close to the club suggest that the deal could be close, pending medical tests. However, Zubimendi has stated that he is unaware of how the summer transfer market will unfold.<\/p>\n\n

Of course there are options, but it’s true that it seems like it’s going to be a different, long summer, and I don’t know how it’s going to end.<\/p>Mart\u00edn Zubimendi<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe player has also mentioned that Liverpool, the team he rejected last summer, is another option, in addition to the possibility of staying at Real Sociedad.\n\nZubimendi explained that he is not focused on these speculations, as his priority is the national team. Last week, he posted photos on his Instagram account from a beach in San Sebastian, following reports that indicated he was in the United Kingdom to undergo a medical examination with Arsenal.\n\n

It’s an example of what surrounds the world of football. Sometimes I wake up and read things I didn’t know I had done, and that was an example.<\/p>Mart\u00edn Zubimendi<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n

Although Zubimendi considers a possible transfer to Madrid as another “hypothesis”, he has expressed his admiration for Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n\n

I’ve always said that he was my idol and that it was lucky for me that I could train with the reserve team in a very important year.<\/p>Mart\u00edn Zubimendi<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nZubimendi prefers to focus on the present and considers it would be disrespectful to answer questions about a possible transfer to Madrid while he is concentrated with the national team, which will face France in the Nations League semi-finals on Thursday.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
