Real Madrid are considering a move for Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi amid growing uncertainty surrounding his future at the Emirates Stadium, according to a report by The Mirror on November 4, 2026. 

Zubimendi joined Arsenal after establishing himself as one of the most impressive midfielders in Spanish football. His arrival was expected to strengthen Mikel Arteta's options in the middle of the pitch. However, increased competition for places has reportedly affected his opportunities this season. The midfielder's reduced involvement has fuelled speculation that he could reconsider his future if the situation does not improve.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid are understood to be exploring midfield reinforcements as they continue planning for the future of their squad. The Spanish international is reportedly among the players attracting attention from the European giants.

Interestingly, a possible transfer could present Arsenal with a difficult decision. The Gunners would reportedly demand a substantial transfer fee before considering any departure. Meanwhile, the player's willingness to remain in North London could also influence negotiations.

It should be noted that there is currently no confirmed agreement between Arsenal and Real Madrid regarding a potential transfer. However, the January transfer window could provide further clarity on the midfielder's situation, although Arsenal may prefer to retain him rather than weaken their midfield options during the campaign.
