The Atlético Madrid has taken a solid first step in its search for a new left-back by initiating contact with Oleksandr Zinchenko, currently with Arsenal. The Ukrainian, with little prominence last season in London, would be willing to consider offers, and that of the colchonero team, according to close sources, has sparked his interest.

The defender, who shone at Manchester City before his transfer to Arsenal in 2022, has not had the expected continuity under Mikel Arteta. The last season has been especially difficult for him, with just a handful of appearances and many games watching from the bench. This, coupled with only one year left on his contract, has opened the door to a possible exit in this transfer window.

The environment of Atlético acknowledges that Zinchenko's profile fits what Diego Simeone is looking for: experience in top leagues, good ball control, and the ability to adapt to both a back four line and more versatile schemes. The imminent departure of Reinildo Mandava has accelerated the plans, and the Ukrainian international is among the main alternatives being considered by the club.

Although discussions between clubs have not yet begun, mutual interest exists. Arsenal would be willing to let him go for a figure close to 15 million euros, and the colchoneros are evaluating whether they are willing to make that investment based on the rest of the summer operations.

Zinchenko also has suitors in Italy, but at the Metropolitano, they hope that Simeone's project and the opportunity to regain prominence in a competitive club may be compelling reasons to sway the balance in their favor.
