January 22 According to Bruno Alemany, who is in charge of international football news at Searle Radio,
Arsenal wanted to pay Real Sociedad midfielder Suvimendi a buyout fee of 60 million euros, but the player himself refused.
“Arsenal first asked Real Sociedad, and Real Sociedad told Arsenal that they needed to pay liquidated damages; Arsenal approached Suvimendi, but was rejected by the player himself. Suvimendi wanted to stay at Real Sociedad, at least not until the summer.
Consider leaving.”
