End of the Zubimendi Operation, This Is Florentino's Decision

Florentino has made a clear decision regarding Zubimendi and there is no turning back for the board.

One of the names that has been most mentioned to join the white team for next season is Martín Zubimendi. This footballer from Real Sociedad has established himself as one of the best in the entire Spanish competition, and that's why he's being considered for Madrid. However, it seems that two players could completely close the possibility of him joining the merengue team.

These would be two players like Dani Ceballos and the star in Italian soccer Nico Paz. These two players have established themselves as footballers of great stature in their respective teams, one in Real Madrid. Therefore, the arrival of this player from Real Sociedad might not be the most beneficial for what the club needs.

Florentino Pérez has then started working on the best possible option for the institution and has decided to completely rule out this player. However, if necessary, there could be a change of plans, but at least for now, everything points to him not arriving.

Plans Have Changed

This player has definitely caught the attention not only of the white club but also of several other clubs around Europe. At 26 years old, he has everything needed to become a significant element in any top team.

With more than 2,700 minutes in 33 matches, he has managed to demonstrate his great value. However, what we have seen from Dani Ceballos this season in a playmaking role has been spectacular.

Meanwhile, the young Argentine who is currently in Serie A has also had very good development in his game. Especially in the more offensive aspect, where he has an excellent relationship with the forwards that could be enhanced in the white club.

We'll Have to Wait

While for now, we don't know exactly if this decision is final, everything seems to indicate that it is. However, we'll have to wait a bit for the transfer market to see if there are any surprises or if everything goes as expected.
