According to the latest report from AS, Arsenal believe they can sign Subimendi, and Real Madrid cannot pay the player a one-time release clause of 60 million euros and offer a salary equivalent to that of Arsenal as they do.
It is reported that internal sources from Arsenal indicate that they are very confident in signing Subimendi. Although the contract has not yet been signed, the deal has actually been completely settled.

Therefore, Subimendi has been out of Real Madrid's sight. The club is considering other solutions and even keeping an eye on what will happen at the upcoming Club World Cup.
The Club World Cup will be a great testing ground for Xabi Alonso. His playing philosophy is full of mystery. In this competition, it will be possible to see whether he chooses a three-center-back formation or a four-back defense.
No matter which formation is chosen, Heisen is a key figure in the system because of his excellent ball control ability, which is exactly what Real Madrid is expecting, especially when the deal for Subimendi has become very complicated.
If the Club World Cup proves that the team can smoothly pass the ball to the midfielder through Heisen, then Real Madrid may choose to maintain the status quo and wait for more players to appear in the market.
One attractive point is the situation of Rodri. His contract with Manchester City runs until 2027, which means that his contract will have only one year left in the summer of 2026. At that time, he may be bought at a lower price, provided that Manchester City does not renew his contract.
In any case, Rodri is just a hypothesis. Subimendi is a minor setback in Real Madrid's plans, but since Arsenal has already made meticulous preparations and finalized the deal, Real Madrid is unable to get involved.
In recent days, despite being aware that the contract had not yet been signed, Real Madrid had made contact with the player. However, Arsenal was able to offer a one-time release clause of 60 million euros and provide the player with a salary that exceeded the current salary structure of Real Madrid.
