Today, Arsenal officially announced the signing of Zubimendi. According to previous reports from Romano, Arsenal will spend a total of 65 million euros. It is worth mentioning that Zubimendi rejected Liverpool's invitation less than a year ago.
Last summer window, Liverpool made midfield signings the top priority, and Zubimendi became the most prominent name at the time. Several mainstream British media have reported that Liverpool is willing to pay a 60 million euro termination fee to introduce Zubi Mendy, but the final transfer was not achieved due to the players' personal wishes.
Zubimedi also realized Liverpool's interest. He recalled his experience in the summer window in an interview last December. He said: "I went on vacation at that time and the situation surprised me. It was not what I planned. When the situation came, I reacted. That time was very bad for me. I weighed the pros and cons and finally thought that the best decision was to stay."
