Florentino Receives a Warning: Real Madrid's Most Desired Transfer is in Jeopardy

Before the start of this winter market, Real Madrid was clear that it wasn't going to make any transfers. However, this hasn't stopped any operations to strengthen the team for the next market. With the arrival of several stars in mind, Florentino Pérez has received a warning regarding the future of one of them.

Martín Zubimendi, who is the most desired transfer by Real Madrid, risks not joining the team. Arsenal has recently emerged as the team with the best chances to finalize his transfer. With this operation planned for the end of the season, Real Madrid is at risk of losing one of its priorities.

While nothing is concrete yet regarding Zubimendi's transfer by Arsenal, the interest from the English is a growing threat. This has set off alarms at Real Madrid, which must act as soon as possible to prevent this from happening.

Arsenal's threat

Having been close to leaving last summer, Zubimendi ended up staying one more season with Real Sociedad. At 25 years old, the 1,895 minutes he has played this season are a testament to his importance within the team. However, despite having a contract until 2027, his departure is imminent.

Faced with the need to strengthen its midfield, Real Madrid had seen Zubimendi as the perfect transfer. Having the necessary level to join the merengue team, the midfielder would help restore the control the team had in this position.

Additionally, his age and nationality were factors that Real Madrid took into account to increase its interest in his transfer. Even so, Arsenal's willingness to carry out his transfer has presented a serious danger for Real Madrid.

The situation with the British

Apart from Arsenal, Liverpool hasn't withdrawn its interest in acquiring Zubimendi's services. While this would greatly complicate the operation, Real Madrid is confident of succeeding and having Zubimendi next season.
