Arsenal is open to the possibility of selling their midfielder Martin Zubimendi amid Real Madrid's interest. Real Madrid has had a successful summer transfer window, signing six new players, including Marc Cucurella and Bernardo Silva. However, their plans for the midfield and defense are under scrutiny, with Jose Mourinho still seeking more players.
Rodri Hernandez's transfer to Barcelona after rejecting Real Madrid has left them considering other options. They are reportedly in talks with Manchester City for Zubimendi, who can play a similar role to Rodri's in the midfield. SPORT reports that Arsenal may not be opposed to seeing Zubimendi leave, as the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes could reduce his importance in Mikel Arteta's plans.
The Premier League side believes Zubimendi's market value will decrease due to his reduced playing time under Arteta, making a summer departure more likely. However, Arsenal will not agree to a sale for less than the €65 million they paid for him last summer. Real Madrid will also need to sell one of their midfielders to accommodate Zubimendi in their squad. The future of Zubimendi's transfer remains uncertain as the story develops.
