Real Madrid have outlined their priorities for the 2025 summer transfer window, and it looks like they are gearing up to pursue one of the world's most coveted midfielders.
According to AS Diaryone of their main goals is to bring a central midfielder who can direct business for them in the middle of the field. The two outstanding candidates are Martin Zubimendi of Real Sociedad and Paris Saint-Germain Vitinha.
The latter is considered unlikely due to his close relationship with PSG – the Portuguese has a contract until 2027. With ZubimendiIt would be a case of convincing the player, with a release clause of 60 million euros in his contract. That is not easy for a series of top clubs.
Liverpool and Barcelona have pursued Zubimendi in the past, and the Reds were willing to activate his release clause, but Zubimendi decided to stay at the Real Arena. However, they are expected to go after Zubimendi again, with several reports saying he may be more willing to consider an exit next summer.
