Real Madrid has ruled out the signing of Martín Zubimendi, a 27-year-old midfielder from Arsenal, in this Real Madrid transfer market. The stance of Real Madrid is clear: Only a signing will be made if a departure is confirmed.

José Mourinho informed the board that the Basque footballer does not fit the profile required for his midfield, dismissing any offer after talks fell through with Manchester City over Rodri and negotiations for the Madrid pivot were closed.

José Mourinho's rejection after Rodri's refusal

Real Madrid formally withdrew its interest in Rodri after the Spanish international informed the club's leadership that FC Barcelona's proposal was more of a priority for his future. Following this decision, reports from Barcelona linked the Madrid club with the Arsenal midfielder.

However, journalist Ben Fernandes Santos confirmed that José Mourinho has not requested the signing of Martín Zubimendi. The Portuguese coach believes that the qualities of the Arsenal player do not align with the tactical needs he seeks for shaping the Real Madrid midfield for the 2026/2027 season.

Chelsea's Xabi Alonso interest in Zubimendi

The 27-year-old footballer was already on Florentino Pérez's agenda last summer at the request of the then coach Xabi Alonso, before the player left Real Sociedad to sign with the Gunner team. Currently, Alonso manages Chelsea and has asked the Stamford Bridge board to start negotiations for the midfielder.

Mourinho's stance hinders any attempt by the Madrid team in the Premier League market for the Arsenal player. The sporting management will not present an economic proposal for the Spaniard, leaving the pathway open for Chelsea to explore his signing before the transfer window closes.

The Real Madrid squad will continue the preseason training in Valdebebas during the second week of August. Real Madrid's board will assess with the coaching staff whether to enter the market before August 31 for another midfield profile or to face the LaLiga debut with the current alternatives in the squad.
