Martín Zubimendi , a 27-year-old midfielder from Arsenal , reappears on the Real Madrid's transfer list to strengthen the midfield before the market closes. The issue lies in the price: a potential operation is estimated between 100 and 110 million euros , a sum that is holding back the white club.

The name of the Spanish international has gained strength after Rodri Hernández rejected Real Madrid's offer to eventually join Barcelona. The sports management continues to evaluate alternatives to add an organizer after the departures of Toni Kroos and Luka Modrić .

Martín Zubimendi goes from 60 to over 100 million

The case of Martín Zubimendi raises doubts in Valdebebas mainly due to his economic evolution. Arsenal signed him from Real Sociedad in the summer of 2025 when his release clause was set at 60 million euros .

A year later, journalist Tomás González-Martín indicates that the price needed to consider a departure is approximately 110 million . According to the journalist's information, Zubimendi would be willing to play for Real Madrid, but Florentino Pérez does not consider undertaking the operation at those amounts.

The white club had the opportunity to attempt his signing before his move to England. Xabi Alonso then requested the midfielder, but the Madrid leadership rejected the operation when it could still be done for around 60 million .

The player's sporting situation has also changed. Zubimendi played 4,299 minutes during his first season in England and was part of the Premier League triumph, although he lost prominence towards the end of the season and was not a starter in the Champions League final.

Arsenal complicates any Real Madrid attempt

The arrival of Bruno Guimarães to Arsenal this summer has increased competition in the midfield. The Brazilian cost around 87 million euros and shares the midfield with Declan Rice , Martin Ødegaard , Mikel Merino , and Zubimendi.

Additionally, the Spaniard started the 2026/27 season from the bench after joining the preparations later due to his involvement with Spain in the World Cup. This scenario has reignited speculations about his future, but Arsenal is not looking to facilitate a departure in the final stretch of the market.

For Real Madrid, the main barrier remains economic . The club believes that paying around 100 or 110 million now for a player who was available for about 60 million just a year ago would mean entering a price range they do not consider for this position.

Rodri's refusal forces Madrid to keep other options open. Among the names being considered is also Kees Smit , with a possible deal estimated at around 45 million euros , in addition to other young midfielders monitored by the sports management.

The market will remain open until September 1 , and the situation may change if there is a departure in the squad. As of today, the main obstacle for Martín Zubimendi to become a real option again is the valuation set around the player: as long as Arsenal maintains demands close to 100 million , Real Madrid is not planning to move forward with his signing.
