‘Very expensive’ – Bayern transfer stance on 27y/o Arsenal star revealed
Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi has been linked with a move away from the club during the January transfer window.
The 27-year-old has struggled for regular game time this season, managing only 100 minutes in seven league appearances for the Gunners.
In contrast, he played in all 38 Premier League games last season to help Arsenal win the title.
Will Martin Zubimendi move to Bayern Munich?
In recent weeks, Zubimendi has been linked with a move to Spanish giants Atletico Madrid, while Bayern’s name has popped up as well.
Christian Falk has exclusively told CfBayern Insider that Bayern Munich were previously interested in Zubimendi before he moved to the Premier League.
However, Bayern now have enough depth in their midfield areas, and they do not need any more players in that department.
Bayern have other pressing needs, and bolstering the central midfield is not one of them.
While Bayern admire Zubimendi, he would be “very expensive” for them. So, there is almost zero chance of Bayern signing him in the winter transfer market.
Falk said: “It is NOT TRUE: Bayern Munich are interested in Martin Zubimendi and considering a January move. Bayern will not go for the Spaniard in the winter. What I can say is that he was on the list of Bayern Munich in the past before he got his move to the Premier League.”
“Bayern Munich were scouting him and there were talks, but in the end, it wasn’t a match! Now, I don’t think it’s the right time to go for him. There just isn’t the space in the midfield department. He will also be very expensive, and FC Bayern are searching in other positions. Bayern admire Zubimendi but they won’t go for him in the January transfer window.”
Martin Zubimendi: What happens next?
Zubimendi has recently suggested that he is very happy in London and wants to continue at the club beyond the end of the season.
There are also reports that Chelsea could be interested in signing the midfielder, who is hugely admired by Xabi Alonso.
While Zubimendi has become a fringe player this season, Arsenal appreciate his qualities even after the big-money arrival of Bruno Guimaraes.
