Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi is reportedly prioritising joining Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.

According to an update by reputed French journalist Santi Aouna, Martin Zubimendi is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The reigning La Liga champions are scouring the market for a dynamic midfielder heading into the summer transfer window and have set their sights on the Real Sociedad midfielder. The Spanish international is prioritising joining Los Blancos in the coming months.

Martin Zubimendi and his career so far

Martin Zubimendi has come leaps and bounds since breaking into the first-team squad at Real Sociedad. The Spaniard took some time before establishing a foothold in the senior setup. However, he has not looked back since landing on his feet at the Basque club.

The 26-year-old has become a mainstay in the middle of the park for his club and country, rising in stature in international football after the UEFA Euro 2024-winning campaign. Meanwhile, Zubimendi has turned out nearly 250 times thus far for Real Sociedad while chipping in with ten goals and nine assists.

Meanwhile, the Spanish midfielder’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the Real Sociedad midfielder. However, Real Madrid will aim to beat the competition to his signature heading into the summer transfer window.

Move across La Liga on the horizon?

Real Madrid’s interest in Martin Zubimendi is understandable. The reigning La Liga champions have struggled in the middle of the park since Toni Kroos called time on his legendary career. In addition, Luka Modric is closing in on the finishing line, with retirement on the cards in the near future.

So, Real Madrid should invest in a top-class midfielder in the summer transfer window, with Zubimendi emerging as a viable target. The 26-year-old Spaniard has boosted Los Blancos’ prospects as he views the Santiago Bernabeu as his preferred destination for the summer transfer window.

Zubimendi’s desire to join Real Madrid is a blow for Arsenal, considering widespread reports have heavily linked the Spanish international with the North London outfit. So, it will be interesting to see if the UEFA Euro 2024 winner will arrive at the Bernabeu in the summer transfer window.
