Real Madrid, looking for reinforcements for its midfielder, could strike a big blow by targeting Martín Zubimendi. According to information from Relevo, the Basque midfielder from Real Sociedad, aged 25 and European champion with Spain, seduces Madrid leaders with his playing intelligence and his ability to read matches. With a price set at 60 million euros, corresponding to his release clause, the player is one of the club’s priorities.
Zubimendi has been closely monitored for months, in particular to fill two identified gaps: the absence of Spanish talent and the departure of Toni Kroos, who left a void in the center of the game. Although English giants like Liverpool and Manchester City have already tried to attract him, the player would favor a future in La Liga, and the idea of joining Real Madrid excites him.
Zubimendi and Xabi Alonso reunite at Real Madrid?
Another asset for Real: the connection with Xabi Alonso. Former coach of Zubimendi at Real Sociedad B, Alonso is tipped to succeed Carlo Ancelotti in 2025 or 2026. Although the arrival of the two men is not linked, it is envisaged with enthusiasm on both sides. However, obstacles remain, notably the overcrowding of the Madrid environment. A possible sale of Aurélien Tchouaméni could free up space for this recruit. On the Real Sociedad side, we are already anticipating the departure of Zubimendi and his potential replacement is named Jon Gorrotxategi. Loaned to Mirandés, this young talent is seen as the natural heir to Zubimendi. It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will accelerate to conclude this file this summer.
