Martin Zubimendi has ended up on the radar of both AC Milan and Juventus ahead of the upcoming summer window. However, the midfielder has a very high price tag, which puts the Bianconeri at an advantage.
Milan are already making plans for the summer and the defensive department, as well as the No.9 role, appear to be the main priorities. Having struggled with the defensive balance, though, the Rossoneri might also need to sign a midfielder.
Therefore, as reported by today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), Milan have added Real Sociedad midfielder Zubimendi to their radar. His contract will expire in 2027 and the price tag, at least going by the release clause, is a hefty €60m.
In addition to Milan, the 25-year-old has also attracted the interest of Juventus and other big clubs. The Bianconeri are clearly have an advantage over Milan, as the latter intend to spend big on the defence and the attack. The budget for the midfield, meanwhile, will not be as big.
The Rossoneri have thought about Zubimendi for next season, though, as the report concludes. It remains to be seen what will happen, but a deal appears unlikely as things stand.
