Real Madrid considers Euro 2024 winner as a potential replacement for heavyweight.

Following Aurelien Tchouameni's terrible performance against FC Barcelona in the season's first El Clasico, questions have been raised about his form.

The French international has been significantly below his best level this season, with his performance against Barça in particular raising concerns within the club.

In fact, reports earlier this week claimed that Real Madrid will consider offers for the 24-year-old in the summer, throwing doubt on his future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Martin Zubimendi is Real Madrid's primary target.

Building on that, Fichajes says that Real Sociedad and Spain midfielder Martin Zubimendi has emerged as a potential Real Madrid replacement for Tchouameni.

Should the Frenchman leave the Spanish capital, Carlo Ancelotti's squad will be looking for a player who can offer balance and stability to their midfield, and the 25-year-old Zubimendi has emerged as a top contender.

The Real Sociedad mainstay's solid performances and leadership in Imanol Alguacil's team have sparked interest from Europe's top teams, notably Los Blancos.

Zubimendi has established himself as one of Spanish football's top defensive midfielders. His ability to judge the game, distribute well, and protect the defense has earned him acclaim from the media, opponents, and teammates alike.

These characteristics are precisely aligned with what Real Madrid is looking for to replace the vacuum created by Tchouameni's potential departure, since he has several suitors in the market.

Real Madrid is interested in signing Zubimendi, a Spanish footballer with vast La Liga experience who is used to the pressure of high-stakes contests.

However, any move for the UEFA Euro 2024 champion may be difficult because he has a contract with Real Sociedad until 2027 and has consistently said that he wants to prosper at the Basque club.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly
