Zubimendi Reveals Why He Rejected Arsenal Move After Merino’s Warning
Spanish midfielder Martín Zubimendi has revealed why he turned down a move to Arsenal, opting instead for Real Madrid. During international training, his teammate Mikel Merino allegedly shared confidential details about the London club, which made him reconsider his decision immediately.
“I was set to join Arsenal, but after what Merino told me, I changed my mind instantly,” Zubimendi disclosed in a recent interview. While he did not specify what was said, his reaction suggests it was something serious enough to sway his decision away from the Premier League side.
This revelation has sparked controversy among Arsenal fans and football analysts, with many questioning the nature of Merino’s statements. Some supporters believe that if Merino indeed leaked sensitive information, disciplinary action should be taken against him.
Merino, currently playing for Real Sociedad, has not commented on the allegations. However, the situation raises concerns about internal leaks and how they can influence major transfer decisions.
As speculation grows, Arsenal fans are eager to know what was said that changed Zubimendi’s mind. Meanwhile, Real Madrid has secured a talented midfielder, leaving Arsenal to reconsider their recruitment strategy.
