The three main rivals of Real Madrid in the bid for Zubimendi

Martín Zubimendi, Spanish midfielder of Real Sociedad, has become one of the most coveted names in European football. His consistency and maturity in the midfield have caught the attention of several top clubs, including Real Madrid, which sees the Basque player as an ideal profile to strengthen their midfield for the upcoming season. However, it won't be easy for Real Madrid, as Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City are also in the race for the midfielder.

-Liverpool

Liverpool, one of the clubs most interested in Zubimendi, was close to securing his signing last summer. The English team reached an agreement with Real Sociedad, but the player chose to stay at Anoeta, prioritizing his development in a familiar environment. Despite this initial rejection, the team led by Arne Slot has not given up on signing him and could make a new attempt in the next transfer window. His style of play would fit perfectly into the dynamic scheme of the Dutch coach.

-Arsenal

Arsenal, on the other hand, has a strong card to convince Zubimendi: the presence of Mikel Arteta on the sidelines. The Spanish coach, a football reference for the player, has publicly shown his appreciation for the Basque player on several occasions, which could influence his decision. The London club is looking to reinforce its midfield with a technically skilled and tactically disciplined profile, qualities that the Real Sociedad midfielder fulfills.

-Manchester City

Lastly, Manchester City also emerges as a heavyweight competitor. Pep Guardiola, known for his affinity for tactically intelligent players, sees Zubimendi as an ideal option for his possession and pressing style. With the departure of some key players in the midfield, the Catalan coach could bet on the Spanish player to maintain the competitive level of his squad. The battle for Zubimendi's future promises to be one of the major stories of the next transfer market.
