Atlético de Madrid has expressed interest in signing Oleksandr Zinchenko, the versatile 28-year-old Ukrainian footballer from Arsenal. According to sources close to the club, negotiations are underway, and the team led by Diego Pablo Simeone is considering various options, from a direct transfer to a loan with an obligation to buy. The operation's cost, valued at 20 million euros plus variables, reflects the strategic value the player would bring to the rojiblanca squad.

The Argentine coach considers Zinchenko a key piece due to his ability to perform both as a left-back and in midfield. His experience in high-level competitions makes him an attractive addition, especially in a season where Atlético seeks to strengthen its team to compete at the highest level in all competitions.

However, Atlético isn't alone in the race for the player. Borussia Dortmund has also shown interest, although the economic conditions of the operation seem to have slowed down its initial push. The German team, moreover, seems focused on finding a different profile to reinforce its squad, which could pave the way for Atlético in the competition for the player.

With ongoing negotiations, Atlético de Madrid seems determined to close the signing of Zinchenko and add to its squad a player who could provide not only versatility but also leadership and experience in crucial moments. If the parties manage to reach an agreement, the Ukrainian could become one of the most notable moves in the winter market for the Madrid club.
