Guardiola Hands Florentino Transfer on a Silver Platter, Says Farewell to City

Manchester City have been one of the teams that have caused the most problems for Real Madrid in recent years in the Champions League. The only team that can stand up to the best team in the world, at least in recent seasons . However, now it seems that they are giving the white team some slack by withdrawing from an operation.

All this because Manchester City have reportedly given up on the opportunity to sign Martín Zubimendi . The Real Sociedad player seems to be one of the options that Madrid and City shared, until now. A perfect transfer window for the Merengue team to strengthen itself with an elite footballer who has grown a lot in LaLiga.

Florentino Pérez is rubbing his hands together, knowing that now one of his main and strongest rivals is leaving. However, they still have to sit down to negotiate with Real Sociedad to finalise his transfer .

Zubimendi is Getting Closer to Madrid

This player has convinced the Merengue board since his emergence in the first division . Having come from the Basque club's youth academy, he has become a key player since 2020.

This season, he has played more than 1,600 minutes in 19 games, contributing three goals. Very interesting numbers for a pivot who has been seen playing and dribbling balls impeccably on several occasions. Some of these qualities are similar to those of the German playmaker Toni Kroos, and that is why Real Madrid are interested.

With the Citizens' flag now retired, it could be the perfect opportunity for Real Madrid to get one of the best players in the league. This without any opposition, with the only one from Real Madrid that can't stop him .

It's a matter of time

With no one able to compete for the transfer of this player, it seems that the only possible destination is Real Madrid. Something that will surely be a matter of time before it becomes official and this star player is finally in the team.
