Real Madrid contacts Zubimendi's agent, red-hot signing

The Whites are still considering the possibility of signing Real Sociedad's defensive midfielder

Among the names that have been most talked about in recent days regarding Real Madrid's signings are Mastantuono, Huijsen, Arnold, and Carreras. However, in the last few hours, the figure of Martín Zubimendi has reappeared. The Real Sociedad footballer, who scored yesterday against Portugal in the Nations League, still hasn't decided his future yet.

His signing for Real Madrid had become complicated in recent weeks, since the priorities were different. Nevertheless, Martín Zubimendi once again crosses paths with a club that's already preparing for the Club World Cup.

Real Madrid, very alert to Martín Zubimendi

According to the newspaper MARCA, the player's future still hasn't been decided. Real Madrid, with a clearer outlook, has renewed its interest in Martín Zubimendi. Meanwhile, the footballer would also show a clear willingness to wear the white jersey.

In the last few hours, Real Madrid has contacted the footballer's agents to ask about his possible move to Arsenal. The response has been positive for the white team, which is still in the race to sign Martín Zubimendi.

Beyond the purely sporting aspect, one of the key factors would be the figure of Xabi Alonso on the bench. The coach, a great admirer of the talent that emerges from Zubieta, could be a decisive piece for everything to fit together. Moreover, Martín Zubimendi also views staying in LaLiga favorably.

Real Madrid will make a final decision

In any case, the truth is that Real Madrid considers Zubimendi more as an interesting option than as a real priority. Despite the problems the team has had this season in creation, the midfield area is quite crowded. Although Modric will say goodbye after the Club World Cup, the club still firmly trusts Camavinga, Tchouaméni, and Valverde.

To the aforementioned are added Ceballos, Güler, and the newly signed Franco Mastantuono. The Argentine, who will arrive after the Club World Cup, joins a midfield with many players, but with different profiles.

With this outlook, the possible addition of Martín Zubimendi would depend more on the desire to add quality than on an urgent need. Even so, no move is ruled out.
