Diario AS: Real Madrid set sights on Zubimendi
Real Madrid is preparing a final attempt to sign Martín Zubimendi, the Real Sociedad midfielder, according to Diario AS. The White Club considers the Donostiarra the ideal replacement in the center of the field, key for the next season and the Club World Cup. Despite Arsenal's interest, which offers a higher salary, Zubimendi prioritizes continuing in Spain and values being managed by Xabi Alonso, with whom he coincided in Real Sociedad B.

The release clause of 60 million complicates the operation, but Madrid is studying creative formulas, such as a loan with a purchase option. As AS highlights, this could be one of the key operations of the summer in LaLiga, with a outcome that could be prolonged until after the Club World Cup.
