Tom Canton reports for Football.London<\/a> that Real Madrid are interested in signing Martin Zubimendi<\/a> this summer, having seemingly missed out<\/a> on a move for Manchester City\u2019s Rodri<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Canton adds that Arsenal don\u2019t want to sell Zubimendi, and Mikel Arteta<\/a> plans to keep the midfielder in his squad this season. But Canton adds that every player has a price.<\/p>\n

Yet the report also suggests that senior officials at Real Madrid are not aligned on the Zubimendi signing, so perhaps it\u2019s not a sure thing that they\u2019ll end up making an offer.<\/p>\n

Even if they do, it would have to be a big one to convince Arsenal to change their stance on the midfielder.<\/p>\n

In Spain, Fermin de la Calle<\/a> reports that Zubimendi is on Real Madrid\u2019s shortlist, as they search for a midfield signing before the end of the summer window.<\/p>\n

De la Calle claims Arsenal have priced Zubimendi at \u20ac90m (\u00a376.9m), which would represent a very significant profit on what the Gunners paid last year.<\/p>\n

But that makes sense, as the player hasn\u2019t been angling for a transfer, he still has a long contract in north London, and he was a regular in a team that won the Premier League and reached the finals of the Champions League and League Cup. His value very much should have increased.<\/p>\n

For the time being, it doesn\u2019t seem as though any kind of move is imminent, or that Real Madrid are even aligned on whether they want to make one. But their interest in Zubimendi is certainly long-standing, as they were one of the clubs in the mix for him last summer.<\/p>\n

With Arsenal making another midfield addition in Bruno Guimaraes<\/a>, it\u2019s not impossible someone might make way. It would just be somewhat of a surprise for it to be Zubimendi, after the Gunners made such an effort to bring him to the club so recently.<\/p>\n
