The Real Madrid transfer market once again places Martín Zubimendi, a 27-year-old midfielder from Arsenal, at the center of planning for 2027. As reported by El Nacional, the player has reportedly chosen Real Madrid as his preferred destination, and those around him want movements to be accelerated to facilitate his departure from London.

The same information suggests a possible deal of 60 million euros fixed plus another 15 million in variables. Currently, there is no confirmed official offer, but Zubimendi would be willing to expedite his departure if an opportunity arises before next summer.

Martín Zubimendi wants to play for Real Madrid

The Spanish international's situation has changed since his first season in England. Zubimendi played a significant role in Arsenal during the 2025/26 season, but the arrival of Bruno Guimarães has increased competition in the midfield, where Declan Rice also features.

This scenario has reduced his prominence at the beginning of the new campaign. According to reports, the midfielder believes that a change could allow him to regain a more consistent presence and has positioned Real Madrid as his top choice.

The interest from Real Madrid is not new either. Zubimendi's name had already appeared on the Madridista agenda before he left Real Sociedad and signed for Arsenal in 2025.

His profile meets a need that Madrid has been studying for some time. Zubimendi can play at the base of midfield, participate in build-up play from deep positions, and dictate play without needing to vacate his position.

Arsenal would have the final word

The main obstacle lies in London. Arsenal made an investment of around 60 million euros to sign him from Real Sociedad and would have no economic reasons to accept a deal below that amount.

Hence the proposal of 60 million fixed plus 15 in variables that is being considered for a potential negotiation. This structure would allow the English club to recoup its initial investment and increase the final transfer value based on achieving certain objectives.

During the last summer, Arsenal already showed that the Spanish player's future was not entirely secure. Reports from England at the time suggested that the club might consider a departure if it received a suitable offer.

For Madrid, the appeal of the deal also lies in adding a player who knows LaLiga, has international experience with Spain, and has been previously scouted by the sporting directorate.

The coming months will determine whether the interest turns into concrete negotiations. According to El Nacional, Martín Zubimendi wants his entourage to speed up the scenario to wear white in 2027; it will now be Real Madrid who must decide whether to turn that desire into a proposal convincing enough for Arsenal.
