Transfer interest is building around Martin Zubimendi, with Atletico understood to be weighing-up a move for the Arsenal midfielder. While there has been no official bid as yet, the club may act swiftly if they decide to pursue the deal before the transfer window slams shut. Barcelona, Chelsea and Real Madrid remain in the background, but for now, Atletico are leading the way in ongoing talks. So far this season, Atletico are steady at both ends (1.92 goals scored per game, 0.83 goals conceded per game). The role for Martin Zubimendi would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Alongside this, Arsenal are said to be exploring Zion Suzuki, Marcus Tavernier and Mohamed Belloumi with Atletico likewise connected to Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martinez and Agustin Giay.
