Real Madrid will be reminded on Wednesday evening of the quality of Martin Zubimendi, while visiting Aneta in the semi-final of Copa del Rey, in what his best chance could be to lift a trophy for a potential departure. The Basque midfielder is fiercely tipped to leave Real Sociedad in the summer, with a release clause of € 60 million that a number of clubs are willing to activate.
It is not the first time that Zubimendi has been linked to an exit, where Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Liverpool all tried to secure his signature in the past. However, it is also acknowledged that he was never closer to the departure than last summer, at one point given the green light for moving to Anfield.
This season he was again associated with a move to Arsenal for the second time in three seasons, as well as Manchester City and Real Madrid. Los Blancos is interested in Zubimendi as a potential option to take over the reins of Toni Kroos in midfield, a year after his exit. However, Diario is like saying that Real Madrid is aware that Arsenal is in pole position for Zubimendi, and a move to London is 'advanced'.
However, they want to remain well positioned for Zubimendi and will continue a dialogue with the 25-year-old Euro winner, in case they are chubby for a movement in the summer. However, the shape of Aurelien Tchouameni and Dani Ceballos has illuminated their interest in Zubimendi, somewhat confirmed by relevant. They say that a final call on their plans will only be made until May or June.
Zubimendi has shown how good he can be in La Liga season after season and internationally in recent years. It is said that he is attracted by a switch to the Premier League, but many consider the X-Factor as the future of Xabi Alonso. If the Bayer Leverkusen manager goes to Real Madrid this summer, the chance to work with his idol can influence Zubimendi's spirit.
