Zubimendi halts his signing with Arsenal: Awaits Real Madrid

Martín Zubimendi is keeping his immediate future on hold, prioritizing an opportunity that could change his career: wearing white under the guidance of Xabi Alonso. Although Arsenal is well into negotiations with Real Sociedad, the midfielder prefers to await a gesture from Real Madrid, where the coach from Tolosa considers him a key piece for his project at the Santiago Bernabéu.

The player, who has shined with the San Sebastián team and recently triumphed with the Spanish National Team, is one step away from the Emirates Stadium. However, his desire to reunite with the one who led him in the San Sebastián reserve team weighs more than any English offer. Zubimendi knows that he would fit perfectly into Xabi's scheme, who is looking for a midfielder capable of organizing play with clarity and hierarchy, a role that is not entirely covered in the Madrid squad right now.

Real Madrid Wants a Midfielder

In Madrid, the departures of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric have left difficult voids to fill. Camavinga and Tchouaméni have not managed to establish themselves regularly in that position, and although the return of Nico Paz is considered, the board continues to assess the incorporation of a seasoned holding midfielder with vision. In this context, Zubimendi fits into both the technical staff's and the sports management's plans.

While his representatives have seriously explored the Arsenal option, the player has not given a definitive "yes" yet. His circle is aware that an offer from Chamartín would change everything. Admiration for Xabi Alonso and his yearning to wear the jersey of Europe's most decorated club weigh more than any figure.

Everything is on hold now. The ball is in Real Madrid's court. Will they respond to the Spanish midfielder's gesture of loyalty?
