Porto are threatening the deal between Arsenal and Fenerbahce. Although no official bid has been made, Porto have opened talks with Arsenal and Zinchenko.

Arsenal are open to considering offers for their left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko as Porto expresses interest in acquiring him. Zinchenko, who has previously been associated with Porto, is now confirmed by sources familiar with the situation to be one of their primary targets, according to CaughtOffside. As he is in the final year of his contract, clubs are cautious about investing heavily in him at this stage. Porto may make a move for Zinchenko in the final weeks of the transfer window. Furthermore, Fenerbahce and Real Betis have also expressed interest in the Ukrainian international. Despite experiencing a challenging season at Arsenal and losing favor, Zinchenko continues to be highly valued across Europe. However, he is not eager to depart immediately and may consider remaining with Arsenal until his contract concludes. Arsenal, meanwhile, would require a satisfactory offer and Zinchenko would need assurance about the potential of the new project before deciding to transfer.
