British media ‘HITC’ reported on the 31st (Korea Standard Time) that “Arthur has withdrawn his interest in Martin Subimendi (25, Real Sociedad) ahead of this summer’s transfer market.”
Arsenal showed excellent performance this season. Despite missing the Premier League title, they had a fierce competition with Manchester City to prove their qualification as a strong team.
Aside from this season’s performance, Arsenal will likely strengthen its capacity this summer on a large scale. Arsenal plans to recruit top-notch players to challenge for the Premier League and Champions League title again next season.
Recruitment of a new midfielder is considered one of Arsenal’s goals. As Thomas Parti is highly likely to be transferred this summer, it is imperative to recruit a replacement to fill his vacancy.
Initially, Subimendi was mentioned as a strong candidate. Arsenal reportedly proposed an official transfer fee of 50 million euros to Sociedad to purchase Subimendi.
Subimendi is regarded as a player who will lead the future of Spanish soccer. As a midfielder, he was praised as the “second Sergio Busquets” thanks to his robust activities and ability to coordinate matches.
He displayed robust performance this season as well. Throughout all competitions, he garnered four goals and one assist in 45 matches, displaying robust performance as the core player of the Sociedad midfield.
He is also expanding his presence in the Spanish national team. In a friendly match with Colombia in March, Subimendi started as a 4-2-3-1 defensive midfielder and played full-time.
The possibility of a transfer this summer was somewhat open. Subimendi’s buyout is set at 60 million euros. If other clubs pay the amount, Sociedad cannot prevent Subimend from transferring.
The transfer was not an aggressive move. According to the latest report, Subimendi prefers to join Real Madrid or Barcelona if he leaves Sociedad.토토사이트 모음
There is a slim chance that Arsenal’s transfer will take place. HITC said that Arsenal did not have much success in the negotiations with Subimendi. Sociedad is confident that Subimendi will stay for at least one more season.
