Marca states that Real Madrid is allegedly making a last-minute bid to sign Martin Zubimendi, a midfielder who is apparently headed to Arsenal.
The Gunners have activated Zubimendi’s £51 million release clause after entering into advanced negotiations with Real Sociedad.
All parties have already reached an agreement on the payment terms, and the only remaining matter is the medical. But Real Madrid has reached out to Zubimendi’s camp to find out if the midfielder has signed with Arsenal.
An alleged “changed everything” occurred when the La Liga giants contacted Zubimendi, making him aware of the potential of joining their team.
Supposedly, Real Sociedad is hearing rumblings that Real Madrid is interested in signing Arsenal’s summer transfer target and is contemplating a formal approach to Real Sociedad. Despite Madrid’s last-minute intervention, Arsenal is still certain they will sign their top transfer target.
