Reports linking Martín Zubimendi with a potential move to Real Madrid have been firmly played down by the midfielder, who insists his immediate priority remains success with Arsenal.
Speculation over the Spain international’s future has intensified in recent weeks amid a wider backdrop of transfer activity involving both clubs. Real Madrid are expected to be active in the upcoming summer window as they look to refresh key areas of their squad, with midfield reinforcements among their long-term objectives.
However, Zubimendi has sought to cool talk of a high-profile switch to the Santiago Bernabéu, reiterating that his focus is firmly aligned with *ARSENAL*’s ambitions during a decisive phase of the season. Sources close to the player indicate that he is fully committed to the club’s pursuit of major honours and is not entertaining external distractions.
Arsenal, under manager Mikel Arteta, are currently competing on multiple fronts and are widely regarded as one of Europe’s most in-form sides. Their strong domestic campaign has placed them in contention for a first league title in over two decades, while progress in cup competitions has further underlined the team’s upward trajectory
Speaking to Cadena Ser, Zubimendi acknowledged that while being associated with the European champions is “not a bad thing”, his decision to join the Gunners was driven by the desire to compete on nights like Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final second leg against Sporting CP. “That has passed,” the 27-year-old stated. “I’m very focused and very happy where I am.”
“The last few weeks have been strange but at the beginning of the season we would have signed to be in this position,” he said. “We still have things to improve. We need more clarity in the last third. Luckily, this team defends well and we are solid.”
For Real Madrid, the attraction of a technically gifted, tactically disciplined midfielder such as Zubimendi aligns with their long-term recruitment model, which has increasingly focused on securing elite players entering or approaching their peak years. But with no formal approach confirmed, the situation remains speculative.
Crucially, Zubimendi’s public and private messaging has been consistent: his ambitions are tied to collective success with Arsenal in the present moment. With the season entering its decisive stretch, the midfielder is said to be concentrating solely on helping the club deliver silverware.
As the transfer window approaches, interest from Europe’s elite is unlikely to disappear. For now, though, ARSENAL can take confidence from their player’s clarity of intent — and from a squad seemingly unified in its pursuit of trophies rather than distracted by rumours
