Real Madrid is focused on the current season, with the crucial match against Atlético de Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup being one of the major challenges. However, the club's board is not overlooking the planning for the upcoming transfer market.
Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez are working to strengthen the squad for the future, but not at any cost or in every position. One of the decisions they have made is to rule out the arrival of Martín Zubimendi, the midfielder from Real Sociedad who had been linked to the club in recent months.
Despite reinforcing the midfield being a possibility, the sports management has deemed it not a top priority. The fierce competition in the midfield, with players like Aurélien Tchouaméni, Eduardo Camavinga, Fede Valverde, and Dani Ceballos, has led the white hierarchy to reconsider the need for another player in that position.
Price has deterred Florentino Pérez
As reported by DefensaCentral, another key factor in the decision is the player's high release clause, around 60 million euros. Additionally, Arsenal seems to have an advantage in the race to sign the midfielder, further strengthening Real Madrid's stance of not engaging in unnecessary bidding wars.
The club is also considering the situations of Luka Modric and Nico Paz, whose futures are still uncertain. While the Croatian may be in his final months with the team, the young Argentine is seen as an interesting option for the future. Therefore, unless there are unexpected departures, Real Madrid will not invest in a midfielder, and Martín Zubimendi is out of the plans for next summer.
