This saga suggested Madrid’s interest remained high even as Arsenal appeared poised to clinch a deal.[1][4]
- In early 2026, Zubimendi missed Spain fixtures due to a knee-related issue, with Spain’s medical team and Arsenal’s staff coordinating on his fitness. He briefly left the Spain camp and was ruled out of a friendly to protect his health, with a potential replacement discussed for the squad ahead of the World Cup warm-ups.[2][3]
- Player status and transfer talk continued to be a talking point through 2025 and 2026, with various outlets: ESPN and AS covering overlapping angles such as Real Madrid’s interest, the release clause, and possible moves staying in La Liga.[4][1]
