According to Footmercato, Chelsea are monitoring Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi and showing increasing interest in the Spain international. However, Arsenal currently have no plans to sell him.
Reports suggest that Xabi Alonso greatly admires Zubimendi's playing style and hopes to bring the midfielder to his squad to strengthen the team's midfield. However, Arsenal views Zubimendi as an integral part of the team's future plans and is not considering selling him.
With Bruno Guimarães reportedly joining Arsenal, speculation has emerged about Zubimendi's future role within the team. He may need to compete with players like Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard for a starting midfield position.
Arsenal's hierarchy remains very satisfied with Zubimendi's performance and is unwilling to sell him just one year after spending €75 million to acquire him last summer. The Spanish midfielder's contract with Arsenal runs until 2030, and the club views him as not for sale.
Despite recent transfer rumors in England regarding Zubimendi's future and Chelsea's expressed interest, Arsenal's stance remains firm: they will not let him leave easily.
