Real Madrid are reportedly hoping to sign 26-year-old Spanish international Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad amid interest from Arsenal.
According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Real Madrid are confident of beating Arsenal to the signing of 26-year-old Euro 2024 winner Martin Zubimendi.
The Spanish midfielder, who has a €60 million release clause, has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, and he was a target for Liverpool last summer.
Real Madrid are looking to sign a quality long-term replacement for Luka Modric, and they have identified the Spanish international as the ideal option. The 26-year-old has proven himself in La Liga, and there is no doubt that he is good enough to play for a big club like Real Madrid.
Joining the Spanish club would allow him to stay in his homeland and fight for major trophies regularly. On the other hand, Arsenal could be an exciting destination for him. He will be able to compete in the Premier League if he joins them, and the Gunners have an exciting squad capable of fighting for trophies.
It will be interesting to see what the player decides in the coming months. The Spaniard has previously turned down and move to Liverpool, and Real Madrid will certainly fancy their chances of convincing him to stay in Spain.
The UEFA Euro 2024 winner has proven his quality with club and country, and he is ready for the next step in his career. Joining an elite club will be ideal for him, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
Zubimendi could be tempted to join a big club
Real Madrid and Arsenal are among the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to play for them can be hard to turn down for any player. Both clubs have the financial muscle to pay his €60 million release clause, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to step up their efforts with an official offer in the coming months.
The 26-year-old has the physicality and technical attributes to thrive in La Liga and the Premier League. The Spanish international could be a star for both clubs and he could transform them in the midfield.
