Martín Zubimendi has emerged as a strong contender to reinforce Real Madrid's midfield in recent hours. Following the collapse of the Rodri Hernández deal, the club continues to explore different options to fulfill one of José Mourinho's main requests: signing a midfielder capable of controlling the game and providing greater balance to the team.

Zubimendi's willingness to join Real Madrid could be one of the biggest advantages of the operation. The Spanish international would reportedly be delighted by the possibility of wearing the white shirt if the club decides to move forward with his signing.

His ability to build play from deep, read the game, and provide balance fits the profile Mourinho wanted for his midfield after failing to secure Rodri's arrival. For this reason, the Real Madrid hierarchy is considering the possibility of making a move for the midfielder.

However, there is one major obstacle: Mikel Arteta. The Arsenal manager could have significant influence over any potential departure and will be key to determining whether negotiations can actually take place.

Real Madrid are considering Zubimendi, while the player would welcome the opportunity to move to the Santiago Bernabéu. The biggest challenge, however, will be opening the door in London. If Arteta gives the green light, Zubimendi could become one of Real Madrid's biggest opportunities during the final stretch of the transfer window.
