Real Madrid is studying a BOMB signing for the midfield

Real Madrid has set its sights on Martín Zubimendi, the talented midfielder from Real Sociedad, as a key piece to strengthen their squad next season. The Madrid board, aware of deficiencies in midfield and defense, sees the San Sebastian native as a strategic signing, alongside Huijsen and Alexander Arnold.

Although there have been informal approaches, the final decision on signing Zubimendi will be made at the end of the current season. Real Madrid wants to assess the team's real needs before pursuing the player, whose contract with Real Sociedad includes a €60 million buyout clause.

Competition makes it very challenging for Real Madrid

According to the newspaper AS, the main obstacle for Real Madrid is Arsenal's interest, as they are also willing to pay the release clause. The London club, where Zubimendi would reunite with Mikel Merino, has had more advanced talks with the player. However, Real Madrid's entry has changed the landscape, and the final decision lies with the midfielder.

Last summer, Liverpool also tried to sign Zubimendi, but Real Sociedad convinced him to stay for another season. Now, Real Madrid hopes the player will choose the white project and become a key piece of Ancelotti's team. The final decision will be made at the end of the season, when Madrid defines its transfer strategy for the next campaign.
