They are Dean Huijsen and Trent Alexander-Arnold, soon joined by Alvaro Carreras and Franco Mastanuono. The last possible recruit could be Martin Zubimendi.
In recent weeks, Real Madrid has been very interested in Zubimendi, which he considers the ideal player to strengthen his midfielder before the first season of Xabi Alonso at the head of the club. Despite this, the Real Sociedad player should join Arsenal this summer, after having concluded a personal agreement with the Premier League club.
Xabi Alonso has a recruit in mind
Despite this, an agreement should not be finalized before July, which offers Real Madrid an opportunity he wishes to exploit.
As Diario As reports, Real Madrid has decided to try to recruit Zubimendi one last time. The Spanish international is the only midfielder desired by Alonso, which is why the decision was made to recruit him.
According to some information, Zubimendi would prefer to stay in Spain. Real Madrid is therefore confident in its ability to divert Arsenal's candidacy. However, the club is not currently willing to activate the 60 million euros release clause from the 26 -year -old contract with Real Sociedad; Another solution will therefore be studied.
The plan remains not to pay the price requested by Real Sociedad.
Real Madrid intends to offer Real Sociedad the opportunity to recruit one or two of its players on loan at no cost in exchange for reduced compensation. If this option is not accepted, the club will have to make a final decision as to the payment of the 60 million euros, knowing that Arsenal has already expressed its intention to do so.
It should also be noted that Zubimendi should also accept a lower salary than that he would receive at Arsenal, which could play against Real Madrid. But for the moment, the Merengues are optimistic.
