Endrick could join Arsenal this summer! This would be MASSIVE!

Arsenal Set Sights on Real Madrid’s Endrick and Close in on Martin Zubimendi Deal

Arsenal are reportedly preparing a bid to sign Real Madrid’s highly-rated youngster Endrick, according to a report from SoccerWeb. The Gunners are said to be willing to offer around €60 million for the Brazilian forward, who has struggled for regular game time since his move to Madrid.

Endrick, who joined Los Blancos from Palmeiras for €47.5 million, has made 22 appearances across all competitions, scoring five goals and providing one assist. However, he has only started one Champions League match and has yet to feature in a La Liga starting lineup. With the arrival of Kylian Mbappé looming, the 18-year-old’s opportunities may remain limited, potentially making a move away a logical option.

A transfer to Arsenal could provide Endrick with the game time he desires, as the North London club remains in the market for a new striker. With Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus currently sidelined, the Gunners lack a true center-forward, making Endrick an appealing prospect for Mikel Arteta’s squad.

Arsenal are currently second in the Premier League and remain in contention for the title while also progressing to the Champions League Round of 16. Their growing reputation as a serious contender for major honors could make them an attractive destination for the Brazilian wonderkid.

However, any deal for Endrick is expected to be challenging, with Real Madrid holding the upper hand in negotiations. The young striker is under contract at the Bernabéu until 2030, meaning the Spanish giants would likely demand a hefty fee to part ways with him.

Zubimendi Move Nearing Completion

In addition to their pursuit of Endrick, Arsenal are reportedly confident of finalizing a deal for Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi, according to Football Transfers (via TeamTalk). The Gunners have been in discussions with the Spanish midfielder’s entourage for months, and negotiations are now said to be at an advanced stage, with a four-year contract already agreed upon.

Zubimendi has been a key figure for Sociedad, making 220 appearances for the club and establishing himself as one of La Liga’s top midfielders. At Arsenal, he is expected to be a long-term replacement for Thomas Partey, allowing Declan Rice to operate in a more advanced, box-to-box role.

With both transfers in play, Arsenal seem intent on reinforcing their squad for the present and future as they continue their push for domestic and European success.
