Arsenal have agreed to pay Zubimendi's £51m buyout clause and also has settled on personal terms worth €8m-a-year.

However, AS says the midfielder is having second thoughts knowing Real Madrid, under coach Xabi Alonso, is now making their interest known.

Zubimendi played for Xabi with Real Sociedad B and is said to be open to a reunion at Real Madrid this summer.
