Atlético Delays, but Does Not Cancel the Purchase of Zinchenko
According to EstoEsAtleti.es, Atlético Madrid has not given up on signing Oleksandr Zinchenko from Arsenal, despite recent delays in negotiations.
The Spanish club had been prepared for the transfer, but internal matters within the club led to them missing the window for the winter transfer market. However, the interest remains strong. Diego Simeone, the head coach of Atlético Madrid, is still pushing for the move, as he believes the 27-year-old Ukrainian international would be a valuable addition to his squad.
Atlético Madrid is confident that they will be able to negotiate a deal with Arsenal for around €20 million. It was previously reported that this is the amount the London club hoped to secure for the player. Transfermarkt currently values Zinchenko at €30 million.
