Didac Aguirre Florentino Sets a 'Sine Qua Non' Condition for Transfering Zubimendi in 2025
The decision Ancelotti must make to determine the future of Zubimendi's transfer
Given the need to continue strengthening the team, Martín Zubimendi has remained one of Real Madrid's main targets. The Real Sociedad midfielder has shown a level that is more than appropriate to be the leader of the Meringue midfield. However, his transfer depends entirely on a condition from Florentino Pérez.
The Real Madrid president has told Ancelotti that Tchouaméni needs to play as a central defender. Florentino's intention is for Ancelotti to convince the Frenchman that his ideal position is in defense.
However, a change to this status is the transfer of the Frenchman to another team. Making it clear that it is essential that the Frenchman doesn't return to being a midfielder. The decision on the player's future rests entirely with Ancelotti.
The only way to transfer Zubimendi
Having shone during the last European Championship with the Spanish national team, Zubimendi caught the attention of several clubs around Europe. His 25 years and the performance he has had have put him on the path to becoming one of the world's best midfielders. Due to this projection, Real Madrid's interest has grown considerably.
Despite having a contract with Real Sociedad until 2027, his 60 million euro buyout clause is quite affordable for the white club. However, and given the large number of midfielders in the team, Tchouaméni's future has become key for the team.
Having been the target of much criticism for his form in midfield, the Frenchman has performed better as a center-back. This has led to the decision that Ancelotti must make in the near future. Whatever the fate of the Frenchman, it is more than clear that Real Madrid don't intend to lose the transfer of Martín Zubimendi.
The decision to be made
Despite his performance in the Intercontinental Cup final, Tchouaméni's fate depends on Ancelotti. The coach has the power to give the Frenchman a second chance as a center-back or allow him to leave in a way that would bring in a lot of money for the club.
