La Liga
When everything pointed to Martín Zubimendi wearing the Arsenal shirt next season, the midfielder has decided to pause any final decision. At Emirates, they were confident of an imminent closure, but the player from Real Sociedad has asked for more time to reflect, which has generated some concern in London. And in the last hours, a new player has emerged in the race for his signing: Real Madrid.
Sources close to the player's environment assure that the appearance of the white club has completely changed the scenario. Zubimendi, who has been a key piece in both Real Sociedad and the Spanish national team, would be seriously considering the possibility of making the leap to Santiago Bernabéu. As reported by Marca, the main reason would be the direct interest of Xabi Alonso, the new coach of Real Madrid, who has already expressed his desire to have the midfielder as a key piece in his new project.
Xabi Alonso would be the key to Zubimendi's decision
Last season, the player from San Sebastián rejected important proposals, including one from Liverpool and a call from Barcelona. At that time, he chose stability and to continue developing at home. Now, however, he feels that it is the right time to change course.
Although in England they took for granted his arrival in the Premier League, the player has not yet made a final decision. He does not want to rush and seeks to calmly choose the next step in his career. The only thing clear for now is that he will not participate in the next Club World Cup and that he is paying close attention to the Madrid option. Zubimendi's future is uncertain, but Real Madrid is gaining strength as a new destination.
