Arsenal and Real Madrid are reportedly in a heated race to secure the services of Spanish international midfielder Martin Zubimendi. According to a report from Spanish publication AS, the Gunners have taken a significant lead in their pursuit of the Real Sociedad star, leaving Real Madrid trailing in their wake.

The 26-year-old midfielder has been a standout performer in La Liga, earning admiration for his composure, defensive prowess, and ability to control the tempo of the game. Arsenal, under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, are keen to bolster their midfield options, and Zubimendi has emerged as a top target. The Gunners are reportedly willing to trigger the €60 million release clause in his contract, demonstrating their determination to bring him to the Premier League.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, are also eyeing Zubimendi as a potential addition to their squad. The reigning La Liga champions are looking to increase the number of Spanish players in their team, and Zubimendi fits the bill perfectly. However, reports suggest that Madrid are hesitant to match Arsenal’s hefty offer, which could complicate their chances of landing the midfielder.

The competition between these two European giants highlights Zubimendi’s growing reputation as one of the most sought-after midfielders in the game. While Real Madrid’s stature and history make them an attractive destination, Arsenal’s ambitious project and willingness to meet the player’s release clause could give them the edge in this transfer saga.
