Florentino Takes Action: Premier League Goes All out for a Star Linked to Real Madrid

The English league is once again a tough rival to beat for Real Madrid

The white club's interests regarding the 2025 summer transfer market have led it to face several of the best clubs in the European soccer elite. Especially because the transfers considered by the white executives are essential to continue the generational change.

That's why the names as potential transfers are high-quality ones, capable of bringing longevity to the project if they join in case of changing teams. One of the most clear examples illustrating this trend is Martín Zubimendi.

The organizing pivot of Real Sociedad would be part of Madrid's midfield starting in the 2025 summer; as long as the club pays his release clause. This is, in fact, the least complicated part of a necessary transfer that has become complicated since it was "accepted" in the Valdebebas offices.

Because Zubimendi's excellent performance with the Basque team has brought his name to the British Isles. There, he has caused unimaginable excitement, making several Premier League clubs join the race to get his services.

Real Madrid now competes, for some days, with part of the big six of the Premier League for the transfer of this creative defensive midfielder. Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City, according to information published by Fichajes.net, would be the English clubs that would compete with the merengue interest in the player.

As almost always happens when the best Premier League clubs are involved, Real Madrid finds itself at a disadvantage. Not in terms of the player's transfer, since that amount is already set in his contract: 60 million euros.

The real problem with Martín Zubimendi's transfer for Real Madrid is presenting a contract that convinces him... ahead of the high economic offers that Liverpool, Arsenal, and Manchester City will mobilize to sign him during this year's summer market. That's why it's necessary to take a more proactive stance regarding his incorporation.

Doing so as soon as possible, in this "case", seeking the quickest and most effective way to sign Martín Zubimendi, would make the difference between success or failure. Because the Premier League almost always has the upper hand economically: only Real Madrid, with its intangibles, can beat the money... as long as the player is ready to wear the merengue jersey.
