Atlético de Madrid has set its sights on Martín Zubimendi as a key reinforcement for the upcoming season. Faced with the possibility of Pablo Barrios leaving the club in the summer, Diego Pablo Simeone has pointed to the Real Sociedad midfielder as a priority in his plan to renew the midfield. His profile aligns with the demands of the Argentine coach, who sees in him the ideal piece to strengthen the team's balance.

The rojiblanco team has been monitoring the player from San Sebastián for some time, but his signing will not be straightforward. With a release clause of 60 million euros, Real Sociedad has no intention of negotiating for a lower amount, forcing Atlético to explore alternatives to carry out the operation. Furthermore, Real Madrid has also shown interest in the player, adding pressure to the Atlético board to act swiftly in the market.

Atlético de Madrid wants to sign Martín Zubimendi

Zubimendi stands out for his tactical intelligence, ability to recover balls, and precision in distribution. Simeone believes that his addition would provide a balance similar to what Rodri offered before his move to Manchester City. Despite having players like De Paul and Koke in midfield, the coach wants a defensive midfielder to ensure greater solidity and clean ball distribution.

In the coming months, the rojiblanco club will try to convince the player and explore ways to finance his signing. With the possible departure of Barrios on the horizon, Atlético is aware of the need to reinforce the midfield, and Zubimendi has become the main target to lead this new phase.
