BREAKING: Decision made as Real Madrid set to make one final push to sign Arsenal-bound midfielder this summer — player prefers to stay in Spain

Written by David Schill

Real Madrid are reportedly planning one final attempt to hijack Arsenal's move for Martin Zubimendi this summer.
 

The 26-year-old Real Sociedad midfielder is widely expected to join Arsenal, with multiple reports in recent weeks claiming that a deal is all but done.

However, it appears that Los Blancos have not yet given up hope of securing the Spain international's signature.

According to Diario AS, Real Madrid have decided to make one last push to convince Zubimendi to choose them over Arsenal during the summer transfer window.

New Madrid manager Xabi Alonso is said to be a huge admirer of the player and reportedly views him as the only midfield reinforcement he wants this summer.

The report also claims that Zubimendi would prefer to remain in Spain — a potential boost for the La Liga giants.

If accurate, the update comes as a major blow to Arsenal and suggests that the Zubimendi saga is far from over.
