Real Madrid are set to begin their season with a new midfield, as they search for a suitable replacement following their failure to sign Rodri. According to a report by journalist Jose Miguel Villarroya, Martin Zubimendi remains off the table despite resurfacing as a potential solution, due to his high valuation by Arsenal. Real Madrid's interest in him is also reportedly not driven by Jose Mourinho, who has not personally pushed for the move.
With few alternatives remaining, Feyenoord's Kees Smit has emerged as a more realistic option for the Spanish club. Smit, priced between €40 to €45 million, could be available for a fee that fits comfortably within Real Madrid's budget.
