Arsenal place €90 million valuation on player wanted by Chelsea

Martin Zubimendi has been linked with a move away from Arsenal, with Chelsea and Real Madrid reportedly showing serious interest in signing the midfielder.

The Gunners believe they have one of the best midfielders in the world, while his opportunities with Spain have been limited because Rodri is also part of the national team. Zubimendi won the league title after his first season at Arsenal and is expected to remain an important player for the club.

Zubimendi Faces More Midfield Competition

However, Arsenal have recently signed Bruno Guimaraes, leading to suggestions that Zubimendi could struggle for regular playing time. The Gunners are expected to find a way to accommodate both midfielders, while injuries could also allow Zubimendi to feature as often as he did last season.

Despite the speculation, Arsenal’s priority is to keep the midfielder at the Emirates. Zubimendi remains an important part of their plans, and the club have no immediate desire to allow him to leave.

The situation could change if a suitable offer arrives, however. Arsenal are aware that clubs are interested in Zubimendi and have reportedly set a clear valuation for his signature.

Arsenal Set Zubimendi Asking Price

According to Fichajes, Arsenal would be prepared to sell Zubimendi for €90 million. The Gunners know there are clubs interested in the midfielder and would consider a transfer if their asking price is met.

If no club is willing to pay that amount, Zubimendi is expected to remain at Arsenal. The midfielder still has an important role to play within the squad, and the arrival of Guimaraes does not necessarily mean his position at the club is under immediate threat.

Arsenal will therefore continue to look for ways to use both midfielders effectively. Zubimendi has already demonstrated his value since joining the club.

For now, the Gunners want him to stay and continue contributing to the team. Only an offer that reaches their €90 million valuation would change that position, leaving Zubimendi’s future largely dependent on whether Chelsea, Real Madrid or another interested club is prepared to meet Arsenal’s demands.
