What happened. Real Madrid are interested in signing Martin Zubimendi from Arsenal, but the Gunners do not want to sell and Arteta plans to keep him.

• Arsenal fended off Liverpool and Real Madrid to sign Zubimendi last year.
• The Gunners paid a little over £51million for the Spain international.
• Zubimendi's contract at the Emirates expires in June 2030.

Real Madrid officials are not aligned on the idea, but interest persists.
