The Sun reports on the potential transfer situation regarding Oleksandr Zinchenko and his expected stay at Arsenal due to high wage demands thwarting a move to Marseille. Oleksandr Zinchenko was expected to move to Marseille, but his wage demands were too high, and he is now expected to stay at Arsenal.

Team Talk reports on Marseille's efforts to sign Oleksandr Zinchenko from Arsenal. Marseille are working on signing Oleksandr Zinchenko from Arsenal. With the left-back’s contract expiring in June 2026, Arsenal are open to accepting a reduced fee of £13 million. Marseille will struggle to match Zinchenko’s current wage demands, so a compromise must be reached before the transfer can proceed.

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.
