According to 90min, Marseille is interested in securing a permanent transfer for Oleksandr Zinchenko from Arsenal. Arsenal is open to selling Zinchenko, and Marseille is considering a permanent deal. However, there may be challenges in matching Zinchenko's current salary. Zinchenko has lost his starting position to Myles Lewis-Skelly and is reportedly frustrated with his limited playtime. An opportunity could arise for Zinchenko to move to Marseille, a team managed by former Brighton & Hove Albion manager Roberto De Zerbi. The Ligue 1 club is believed to be investigating a permanent transfer, but the inability to meet the Ukrainian player's current salary could be an issue that needs addressing. Zinchenko, who initially started his career as a midfielder, was replaced as Mikel Arteta's preferred left back last season by the home-grown talent Myles Lewis-Skelly. He has recently expressed his frustration over his transition from being a regular player to rarely appearing on the pitch. Riccardo Calafiori has started the season as the left back, ahead of Lewis-Skelly, pushing Zinchenko, who joined from Manchester City in July 2022, further down the selection order.
