Independent Operations: Zubimendi's Transfer Doesn't Affect This Star Player's Future

Rumors about the transfer market continue to grow, something that may increase in the coming weeks.

Real Madrid needs to transfer players. Although, for now, nothing is decided; at least, that's what Carlo Ancelotti has explained.

"We'll see, that's all I can say. We have many games in January and we're focused on this. Talking about the market topic is not easy for me at this moment; I don't want to talk because it's not the time. I'm delighted with the team I have, we've had difficulties and we've always been able to fix them," expressed the Italian coach.

However, Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez are looking at the market, but for 2025-2026, aware that the team will need to make a significant leap in quality.

Strengthening the midfield

There have been many conversations between Ancelotti and the club's executives, who are aware that in a few months, the defense and midfield will need to be strengthened.

The absence of Toni Kroos has left a very large void, so the name with the most strength to replace him is Martín Zubimendi.

The Real Sociedad player is being followed by the Premier League, where the big clubs are willing to go all out to secure his services.

The club is already working on this possibility, although it knows it won't be easy, so it will need to speed up contacts with the player's agents and the Basque entity.

Goodbye to Luka Modric?

Many have wanted to link this story to Luka Modric's future, who has a contract until June 2025.

The Real Madrid captain might be living his last months as a player for the club, although the decision is not made.

The player and the club have agreed to make a decision later. Although Florentino has already made it clear that his continuity doesn't depend on any transfer.
