Ass: Real Madrid plans to sign Zubimendi, intending to reduce transfer fees by providing loan players

According to Ass, Real Madrid plans to launch a final offensive against Zubimendi, and the club intends to reduce transfer fees by providing loan players.

Real Madrid is actively operating the transfer market to prepare for the upcoming Club World Cup and the new season, while hoping to create a competitive roster for Alonso. The team has signed 20-year-old Wyson and 26-year-old Arnold, who are waiting for their official debut.

The signing of 17-year-old Mastantono is about to be announced, and the transfer of 22-year-old A-fee is still in progress. In order to meet Alonso's demands, to find a player who can play an important role in the midfield like Kroos and Modric, Real Madrid chose Zubimendi.

Although Arsenal has long been pursuing the player, Real Madrid has not given up and will make a final effort to sign the Real Sociedad midfielder to meet Alonso's roster needs.

In the past few weeks, Real Madrid has been pessimistic about signing Zubimendi due to Arsenal's advantage in the battle and its 60 million euro termination clause. So the club began to consider other options, of which Stiller was considered the closest option, both from an economic and competitive standpoint.

However, Alonso made it clear that he wanted Zubimendi to be a new midfielder, and Real Madrid also realized that no replacement could surpass the Basque player. In addition, the player himself prefers to stay in Spain rather than traveling to England.

One of the obvious reasons is: He knows that Alonso admires him very much, and the two not only share the same agent, but also worked with Real Sociedad B (2019/20 season). To be sure, the role the coach envisioned in his mind is completely feasible for Zubimendi.

Both players are from Real Sociedad's youth training camp - Subieta. Zubimendi is also attracted by the idea of ​​joining Real Madrid. He even suspended potential transfer negotiations with Arsenal, waiting for Real Madrid to take action, and knew that if the deal fails, Arsenal will still be an alternative.

At present, Real Madrid has learned that Zubimendi has not signed any contracts, which means competition is still open, and the club also believes that a good relationship with Real Sociedad will help the negotiations go smoothly.

Real Madrid hope to reduce the amount of Zubimendi's termination by providing some cost-free loan players, who may be from Castia or the first team. If Real Sociedad disagrees with the proposal, then Real Madrid will face a choice: whether to pay 60 million euros, because that is not a problem for Arsenal.

Regarding salary, according to the Ass, the annual salary provided by Arsenal to Zubimendi is about 10 million euros after tax, which is somewhat inconsistent with Real Madrid's strict salary structure. Real Madrid is willing to provide 6 million to 7 million euros in the first year, and contracts usually increase year by year. But if Zubimendi wants to play for Real Madrid, he needs to accept a lower salary because Real Madrid's offer won't meet Arsenal's standards.

Real Madrid decided to launch the final offensive because they firmly believe that Zubimendi is the most suitable player in the market for this position. His style is similar to Cross. The number of passes per game is close to or even more than 100 times, with an accuracy rate of more than 90%. It can help the team solve the problem of shooting from the backcourt this season. Zubimendi is a realistic choice.

In the recent UEFA Nations League match, when Spain played against France, Zubimendi and Wysen showed an excellent understanding, with the former serving as the core of the midfield and the latter being responsible for organizing the offense as the centre-back. Real Madrid hopes to replicate this connection to solve problems that the team has not been able to overcome throughout the season. In addition, adding local Spanish players will also help enhance the presence on the national team’s call list.

In the last national team training camp, only Raul Asensio was selected, and this time it was Wysen. If Kavajal returns to his pre-injury form, he is expected to return to the national team as well.

Plus Zubimendi, there may be four Real Madrid players in the future to become regular visitors on Delafuente's roster, and if A-fee joins, it may be five. Obviously, the possibility of Zubimendi joining is not over.

In fact, the player himself also said in an interview with Spain National Radio: "I have always said that Alonso is my idol and was fortunate to be guided by him when he was in Real Sociedad. But I don't like to talk about hypothetical topics. It seems that it will be an unusual and long summer, and I don't know what will happen in the end."

If everything develops as Real Madrid will, the story will end with him wearing a white robe at the Bernabeu. Although not as urgent as other transfers, the club is confident of completing the deal after the Club World Cup.
