Real Madrid is reportedly making advances in the transfer market as of August 14, 2026. The club is nearing a deal for midfielder Martín Zubimendi, with negotiations reportedly progressing well. In addition, Madrid's relations with Barcelona have deteriorated, leading them to make a €150 million bid for Julian Alvarez, which was rejected.
