Real Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi, and the club’s head coach Jose Mourinho has given the move his approval, according to TEAMtalk, as cited by multiple outlets.
Both reports say Zubimendi, 27, joined Arsenal from Real Sociedad last year for a fee reported at €65 million. They add that he plays a significant role in Arsenal’s title-winning Premier League campaign after his arrival, although his impact is described as reduced later by injuries. The articles present the interest as part of Real Madrid’s summer transfer planning, framing Zubimendi as a target based on his prior influence and experience at a high level.
While the outlets rely on the same report source and broadly match the timeline and fee, they differ slightly in emphasis—one highlights Mourinho’s approval more directly, while the other focuses more on Zubimendi’s performance and the effect of injuries. Neither outlet provides additional confirmation from Arsenal or Real Madrid beyond the reported interest.
