According to Fichajes, Real Sociedad has set a definite price for Martin Zubimendi and would not consider any proposals from Real Madrid that fall below €70 million. The 25-year-old midfielder, who is now among the most sought-after players going into the next transfer window, has seen a huge increase in value as a result. Many have taken notice of Zubimendi, especially Real Madrid, who see him as the perfect player to bolster their midfield in the upcoming campaign.
Zubimendi has established himself as one of the best midfielders in European football over the last several seasons because of his impressive exploits with Real Sociedad. His success has been mostly attributed to his role as a defensive midfielder, and any elite team would be interested in signing him because of his smarts with the ball, ability to distribute play, and strong defensive abilities.
Real Madrid plan to hijack Arsenal deal sees new conditions set in stone
According to a story published earlier this month in the English media, Arsenal was nearing an agreement and was certain they would recruit Zubimendi in the summer of 2025. Now, according to Fichajes, Madrid is interested in Zubimendi as well and may try to sign him at the end of the current campaign. A bid to sabotage Arsenal’s deal has not been ruled out, as Los Blancos see Zubimendi “as their main target to strengthen the midfield in the summer of 2025.” Sociedad is aware that its valued asset is being pursued, and the La Liga team has made a clear statement regarding his future.
Zubimendi will only be sold by Sociedad if a club activates the €70 million (£58.6 million/$72.9 million) release clause, according to Fichajes reporting. They refuse to haggle over a cheaper price. Madrid has opted not to make a new addition during the January transfer window, even though they are making plans for the upcoming season and beyond. Alexander-Arnold Trent has been a target for Madrid. By the end of the season, the right-back’s contract with Liverpool will expire.
