Martin Zubimendi has reportedly reopened the door to a move to Real Madrid this summer after Arsenal beat the Spanish giants to his signature and added him to their squad a year ago.Xabi Alonso wanted Real Madrid to sign Zubimendi, but the club decided against pursuing a deal at the time. The midfielder instead moved to the Emirates, where he helped Arsenal win the Premier League title.Real Madrid renew their interestArsenal are delighted to have Zubimendi in their squad and will continue working to ensure he remains at the club. However, there is now fresh uncertainty surrounding his future.According to Football365, Zubimendi has instructed his agent to try to negotiate a move to Real Madrid this summer, with the Spanish club also open to completing a deal.Real Madrid are looking to strengthen their midfield and have been in discussions over a move for Rodri from Manchester City. If they are unable to secure the World Cup winner, they could turn their attention back to Zubimendi.Arsenal face a difficult challengeZubimendi has become one of Arsenal’s most important players, and the club will be determined to keep him. His performances have made him a key figure in the team, and losing him would represent a significant setback.However, interest from a club such as Real Madrid could influence the situation if the midfielder pushes for a transfer. Arsenal would then face the difficult task of deciding whether to resist any approach or consider allowing him to leave.Should a move eventually materialise, the Gunners would likely have to return to the transfer market in search of a suitable replacement. Replacing a player of Zubimendi’s quality would not be straightforward, making any potential departure a major issue for the club._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
