Real Madrid target Sociedad star Zubimendi as Kroos replacement

Many players rise to stardom after a major international tournament with their national team. Something like that has happened to Martin Zubimendi, who despite not being a starter and already being known before travelling to Germany, Euro 2024 has been his great showcase.

A fact that could have precipitated his departure from Real Sociedad to the Premier League, although, in the end, the midfielder decided to continue. However, his contract runs until 30th June 2027 and his termination clause is only 60 million euros, a figure that is quite affordable for several of the big European clubs.

One player who has not gone unnoticed for Real Madrid. According to ‘AS’, the ‘Txuri-urdin' midfielder is the perfect piece for their weakened defensive pivot position, especially after the retirement of Toni Kroos from football.

Another of the points in favour of Zubimendi's arrival at Madrid is that he fits in perfectly with the transfer policy of the club. He is young and a player of the future, as he will be 26 next February.

Although these are only rumours, Real Madrid have an excellent relationship with Real Sociedad, with whom they have already had several deals for players. However, Zubimendi is one of the bargains of the market and 'Los Blancos' will have to compete with the big teams to try to convince one of the most coveted players of the moment.
