After a strong yet frustrating Champions League campaign—ending in a semi-final defeat to PSG—Arsenal are gearing up for a big summer in the transfer market.
According to Sky Sports, the Gunners will have a £100 million budget, not including potential player sales that could push that figure even higher.
Top priority? Martín Zubimendi. The Spanish midfielder from Real Sociedad is on the verge of joining Arsenal. A verbal agreement is in place, and the club is ready to trigger his £55 million release clause. Despite interest from Barcelona and Real Madrid, the 25-year-old has opted for the Premier League and Mikel Arteta’s long-term vision.
Zubimendi Incoming, Nico Williams Also on the Radar
Next up: Nico Williams. The Athletic Bilbao winger is high on Arteta’s list as he looks to inject pace and creativity down the flanks. Should that deal fall through, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens (Dortmund) and Rafael Leão (AC Milan) are also under consideration—though both would require a bigger investment.
Arsenal Mean Business
With money in hand and a clear plan, Arsenal are aiming to strike early and decisively this summer. After coming so close in Europe, the Gunners are ready to take the next step.
