The match between Real Madrid and Arsenal is not really finished. And he still does not turn in favor of the Merengue. In early April, the two teams clashed in the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Two games won backwards by the Gunners (3-0, 1-2), synonymous with elimination for Madrid. A blow behind the head of Real who quickly turned out. But here on the Mercato side, the club of President Florentino Perez is again upset by Arsenal.
After Marcaa priority target of the Madrid management has chosen to spin on the London side. This Saturday, the Spanish media confirmed that the departure of Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad to Arsenal was more and more likely. Referring to an existing agreement since last January between the player and Arsenal, he validated the recent information of the journalist specializing in transfer, Fabrizio Romano.
The middle of Real Sociedad, Martin Zubimendi should sign a contract with Arsenal. Real Madrid had made it one of its priorities.
The latter explained that an agreement for a long -term contract had been found this time between the two parties this time. Arsenal would have been in contact with Zubimendi again “These last hours”. Under contract with Sociedad until June 2027, the midfielder should therefore fly to the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season, Arsenal before paying the sixty million euros in his departure clause.
Xabi Alonso made a priority
The thing seems to be heard and it is therefore a very bad news for Real Madrid and for its (very likely) new coach, Xabi Alonso. According to AS, the latter had made Martin Zubimendi one of his priorities to try to revitalize a sector in great difficulty this season on the Merengue side.
The departure of Toni Kroos last summer was not filled and it felt throughout the season. The age of Luka Modric, the injuries of each other and the regular obligation for Carlo Ancelotti to tinker by having Aurélien Tchouaméni play in defense rather than in the middle illustrated these problems. Martin Zubimendi should therefore not be the solution and it will be necessary at Real Madrid found another.
