The Real Madrid transfer market continues to keep an eye on the midfield position for 2027. Martín Zubimendi, Alex Scott, and Chema Andrés represent three different profiles that could meet specific needs, although only the first has recently been linked to the white club.

Real Madrid needs to find more solutions to organize the ball out and increase options in the midfield. In that context, the three names offer different characteristics: Zubimendi as an organizer, Scott as a midfielder with endurance, and Chema as a pivot trained in Valdebebas.

Zubimendi remains a profile for Real Madrid

Martín Zubimendi, a 27-year-old midfielder, is entering his second season at Arsenal. During the 2025/26 season, he played 4,299 minutes across all competitions, though he lost prominence towards the end and the arrival of Bruno Guimarães has increased competition.

Real Madrid's interest has history. The midfielder was on Real Madrid's radar before moving to England, and his name has resurfaced recently as a possible option for the future.

His fit would primarily be positional. Zubimendi can play ahead of the center-backs, contribute to the initial phase of play, and provide a fixed reference for other midfielders to have more freedom.

The challenge lies in his contractual situation, and Arsenal made a significant investment to acquire him. Currently, there is no active negotiation between the clubs.

Alex Scott fits the midfield profile

Alex Scott, a 23-year-old midfielder from Bournemouth, offers a different skill set than Zubimendi. He can play as an inside midfielder or central midfielder and stands out for his ability to drive forward, break lines, and appear in more advanced areas.

His profile would suit a Real Madrid looking for midfielders with mobility, endurance, and the ability to sustain high-intensity matches. Scott can start from intermediate positions, accelerate play progression, and reach the final third without needing to hold a fixed pivot role.

The English player has also attracted interest from several Premier League clubs, increasing his value in the market. His contract with Bournemouth allows the English club to maintain a strong position against any future moves.

Compared to a more positional player like Zubimendi, Scott would offer a different solution: more movement between lines, dribbling, and the ability to contribute both in build-up and pressing after losing the ball.

Chema Andrés knows Real Madrid perfectly

Chema Andrés, a 21-year-old midfielder, represents another possibility. The academy player left for Stuttgart in 2025 and was subsequently transferred to Brighton for €23 million.

Real Madrid retained 50% of his rights while he was in Germany, receiving €11.5 million from his subsequent sale to Brighton. Therefore, there isn't currently an active buy-back clause stemming from that economic participation.

Chema has started his stint in England with prominence. In his first three games, he achieved two starts, one goal, and one assist, along with three wins for Brighton.

The three cases need to be differentiated. Zubimendi has previous interest from Real Madrid, while Alex Scott and Chema Andrés are profiles that, due to their characteristics and progression, could fit in a future search for midfielders. Any move will depend on the sporting priorities established by the club for 2027.
