In a bold move that signals their summer ambitions, Turkish giants Fenerbahçe have officially submitted a €10 million bid for Arsenal’s versatile Ukrainian international, Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The transfer talks, led by Fenerbahçe’s sporting director Devin Özek and Arsenal’s Andrea Berta, reflect a strategic push from incoming manager José Mourinho, who envisions Zinchenko not as a left-back but as a deep-lying playmaker in the number 6 role.
Zinchenko, who started only five Premier League games last season, has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal. With just one year left on his contract, Arsenal is motivated to sell now rather than lose him for free in 2026.
Mourinho’s tactical blueprint includes leveraging Zinchenko’s progressive passing and tempo control to anchor the midfield. The player is reportedly intrigued by the challenge, though he’s also considering seeing out his contract.
If finalized, this could be one of the most intriguing moves of the summer—blending Mourinho’s vision with Zinchenko’s technical prowess.
