Real Madrid has resumed talks with the camp of Martín Zubimendi to explore his transfer from Arsenal during the winter transfer window of 2027. The upcoming Real Madrid transfer market will focus on strengthening their midfield.

According to El Confidencial, the Madrid entity has identified the Spanish international as their top priority to reinforce the midfield in January, after making initial informal inquiries during the summer transfer window of 2026.

Martín Zubimendi's situation at Arsenal and Real Madrid's interest

The 27-year-old defensive midfielder is discontent with the limited role he has had at the beginning of the 2026-2027 season, starting all official matches on the bench for the London team. Transfer specialist Graeme Bailey confirmed that Real Madrid is in direct communication with the player's representatives to gauge his willingness to return to Spain.

Despite reports from TeamTalk suggesting advanced negotiations, the former Real Sociedad player needs to settle his departure from the British club, which made a significant investment in his services in the previous summer market.

Mikel Arteta's refusal to authorize a winter exit

As revealed by Pete O'Rourke on Football Insider, the Arsenal board remains firm in refusing to sell the midfielder during the January window. Manager Mikel Arteta aims to keep the squad unchanged to compete for titles in the 2026-2027 season, planning to increase the player's minutes in the upcoming weeks.

The Arsenal coaching staff believes that providing playing time in the Premier League and UEFA Champions League will appease the midfielder's dissatisfaction, blocking any formal offers coming from the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid executives will assess the midfielder's involvement in Arsenal's lineup during October and November 2026. If the player remains on the bench in the Premier League before the Christmas break, Real Madrid's management will submit a formal transfer offer to Arsenal to push for the transfer in January 2027.
