Real Madrid pursues transfers amid ongoing negotiations and signings

Summary

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. Meanwhile, Jacobo Ortega is close to signing with Strasbourg in what would be a significant sale for a youth player not previously on the first team roster.
