Arsenal star reaches decision on joining Real Madrid ‘ASAP’ as ‘key’ condition for transfer revealed

Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi reportedly hopes his agents can secure him a move to Real Madrid as soon as possible following reduced playing time in London. The 27-year-old Spain international has featured for only 197 minutes across eight appearances in all competitions so far this season, sparking speculation about a potential departure.

According to Spanish outlet Nacional, a permanent transfer or other departure depends on Arsenal's willingness to approve a deal and confirmation of concrete interest from Real Madrid. Meanwhile, European football expert Andy Brassell warned the Gunners against selling Zubimendi, citing Arsenal's heavy fixture schedule and the midfielder's quality.
