| Real Madrid summer transfer window 2025 |
From a transfer boost in their pursuit of Martin Zubimendi to a contract renewal for Vinicius Jr., here are the latest and most important Real Madrid transfer updates.
🔄 Martin Zubimendi Favors Real Madrid Over Arsenal Move
In a major transfer boost, Martin Zubimendi is reportedly keen to join Real Madrid despite advanced negotiations with Arsenal, as per COPE. The 26-year-old Real Sociedad midfielder has emerged as a top target for Xabi Alonso, who is shaping his squad for the new era at the Bernabeu.
Zubimendi, known for his technical skill and composure, enjoyed a solid 2024–25 campaign with 2 goals and 2 assists in 48 appearances. With a €60 million release clause, he’s also seen as the long-term replacement for Toni Kroos, who retired, and Luka Modric, who is expected to leave this summer.
Despite Arsenal pushing hard for the signing, Zubimendi's desire to wear the iconic white jersey could tip the scales in Madrid’s favor. However, Los Blancos must act quickly, as the Spanish international won't wait indefinitely.
✍️ Vinicius Jr. to Sign Contract Extension Until 2030
Amid speculation surrounding his future, Vinicius Junior is set to extend his Real Madrid contract until 2030, according to renowned journalist Josep Pedrerol.
Even with Kylian Mbappe now leading the attack, Vinicius has held his own, scoring 20 goals and providing 17 assists across 51 matches this season. While Middle Eastern clubs have shown interest, Real Madrid remains committed to keeping the Brazilian superstar at the heart of their project.
His current deal runs through 2027, but the new three-year extension signals long-term faith from the club. An official announcement is expected before the FIFA Club World Cup kicks off in June.
💰 Real Madrid Must Pay €5M to Sign Trent Alexander-Arnold Early
According to El Chiringuito TV, Real Madrid may need to shell out €5 million to land Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer instead of waiting for his contract to expire.
The Liverpool right-back, whose deal ends next month, has already confirmed his Anfield exit. While Madrid initially planned a free Bosman transfer, they now prefer to finalize the deal before the FIFA Club World Cup begins on June 14.
The €5 million fee is considered minimal for a player of Trent's caliber and experience, and Los Blancos are expected to complete the move swiftly.
