Real Madrid renews interest in Arsenal's Martin Zubimendi this summer

Summary

Real Madrid is reportedly interested in Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi, but Arsenal aims to keep the 27-year-old as part of Mikel Arteta's plans. Zubimendi has a contract until June 2030, offering Arsenal leverage in negotiations. Madrid previously attempted to sign Zubimendi before his transfer to Arsenal, but timing proved an issue. Despite a few fluctuations in form, he played a key role last season, contributing to Arsenal's title win and Champions League run. Arsenal intends to retain Zubimendi unless an extraordinary offer is presented.
