Arsenal Yet to Decide on Subimendi Sale to Real Madrid
Amidst transfer rumors surrounding Martin Subimendi, journalist Javi Roldan has claimed that the Spanish midfielder will become a Real Madrid signing during the winter transfer window.
Arsenal boasts an exceptional roster of players in both defense and midfield; the squad depth in these areas is envied by every other Premier League club.
However, the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes, combined with the fact that Miles Lewis-Skelly now plays almost exclusively in midfield, has negatively impacted Subimendi’s playing time.
This season, the World Cup winner has started only once—in a League Cup match. His longest appearance in the Premier League so far has been a mere 23 minutes.
The journalist revealed that Arsenal has made a decision regarding the sale of Martin Subimendi. Yet, according to Pete O’Rourke from Football Insider, the Gunners have no intention of depriving Mikel Arteta of such a high-quality player, despite Subimendi’s growing frustration over limited minutes on the pitch.
The source adds that Mikel Arteta aims to keep the entire squad intact until the season’s end, as the club plans to compete for trophies on multiple fronts.
