Real Madrid eye Martin Zubimendi as Arsenal future appears uncertain

Real Madrid could pursue a transfer for Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi in January amid concerns about his playing time at the Emirates Stadium. Zubimendi, who joined Arsenal from Real Sociedad in 2025, may consider leaving if competition for minutes does not improve, especially with Bruno Guimaraes now in the squad. Real Madrid has previously shown interest and could act if Arsenal is open to a transfer request from Zubimendi, although no deal is imminent. The player's role and Madrid's decision-making will be crucial in the coming months as the winter transfer window approaches.
