  "summary": "Jose Mourinho has approved Real Madrid's pursuit of Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi, according to TEAMtalk. The 27-year-old, who joined Arsenal last year from Real Sociedad for €65 million, played a crucial role in the Gunners' Premier League title win but saw his playing time dwindle in the latter stages of the season. With Bruno Guimaraes set to join Arsenal, Zubimendi's position within Mikel Arteta's plans is now under scrutiny. Real Madrid, who missed out on signing Rodri, is looking to strengthen their midfield options with the addition of Zubimendi.",
