Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi might be having a change of heart on his decision to join Arsenal.
He recently insisted that he still does not know where his future lies or how it will end this summer.
Reports had said that the Spaniard is close to joining Arsenal, with a medical seemingly set to be completed after a £51 million ($69m) deal was agreed between the two clubs. However, recent comments prove that the midfielder might still be open to the idea of staying in Spain.
During an interview with Radiogaceta de los Deportes, Zubimendi claimed that he is unsure where he’ll end up ahead of next season because everything is still up in the air.
Revealing that he is already anticipating a very long summer, he confirmed that while there are many options for him at home and abroad, he is not thinking about his future at the moment.
He stated that his main focus is on playing well with the Spanish national team until when he is able to divert his attention back to club football.
“Of course there are options, but it’s true that it seems like it’s going to be a different, long summer, and I don’t know how it will end. I don’t think thinking about that right now is my priority.
I’m here with the national team, which I think is already quite demanding, and if I have to say something, then I will,” he said.
On reports saying he had undergone a medical at Arsenal, Zubi clarified that the reports are false and nothing like that has happened.
He maintained that waking up to several false stories about himself in the papers is something he is now used to, so he never takes them seriously.
“It’s an example of what surrounds football. Many times I wake up in the morning and read things that I didn’t know I had done. That was a clear example.
It’s true that I don’t take it very seriously, but anyway, I uploaded those photos to emphasize a little that it wasn’t exactly the reality that was happening,” he added.
