Zubimendi has informed Real Sociedad of his decision, his signing has been canceled.

Zubimendi will be at the center of one of the summer transfer market's deals. The Real Sociedad player, after spending his entire life at the txuri-urdin club, has surprised everyone by canceling his transfer to Arsenal. Having several doubts about the proposed project, Zubimendi knows exactly what he's looking for.

Arsenal was the team that seemed set to secure Martín Zubimendi's services. However, due to the club's clear lack of titles, Zubimendi has canceled his transfer to wait for Real Madrid. With full confidence that Real Madrid will make a move, Zubimendi's decision is a great opportunity for Xabi Alonso's club.

The coach, who knows Zubimendi from Real Sociedad's youth ranks, considers him essential for Real Madrid's squad. Showing determination in his decision, Zubimendi has made it clear that his greatest desire is to join Real Madrid.

Zubimendi's decision made

At 26 years old, Martín Zubimendi has become a true reference in midfield. Considered Rodri's natural successor, Zubimendi is one of Xabi Alonso's favorite players. However, Arsenal's strong interest became a tough obstacle for Real Madrid in a deal whose value is significant.

With a release clause of €60 million, Real Madrid is looking to significantly reduce this amount.  The cancellation of his transfer to Arsenal has shown that, despite the English club's interest, he only thinks about Real Madrid.

Having a close relationship with Xabi Alonso, this could be key to the success of this important signing.  Zubimendi also hopes that Real Sociedad will make it easier for him to leave for Madrid after all the multimillion-euro offers they've turned down in the past.

The future after Real Sociedad

Faced with this great opportunity, Real Madrid knows they can't let a player of Zubimendi's caliber slip away. With the main issue being his price, Real Madrid hopes to reach an agreement with Real Sociedad to facilitate Zubimendi's important signing.
