Zinchenko may invest in AC Milan, brokers are pushing for deals

According to reports, AC Milan hopes to sign 28-year-old Ukrainian international Oleksander Zinchenko from Arsenal this summer's transfer window.

According to the Italian media "Roma Sports", AC Milan has regarded Arsenal's Oleksander Zinchenko as their target for signing. The Serie A giant is eager to sign a new left-back this summer to strengthen the team's defense. Therefore, the 28-year-old Arsenal "pan-gold" player has entered the vision of the "Red and Black Legion".

However, for AC Milan, the salary of the Ukrainian international is a big problem and they need to negotiate with the players about their personal treatment. Meanwhile, Zinchenko's agency team is actively pushing the transfer, which means that the Arsenal all-rounder may need to accept a salary cut in order to facilitate the deal.

Zichenko's "roller coaster" career at Arsenal

Since joining Arsenal from Manchester City for £30 million in July 2022, Zichenko's Gunners' career has been ups and downs. Although this all-around 28-year-old player performed extremely well in his first season in the franchise, his appearance pick in the team has declined since then. In the just-concluded 2024/25 season, it is even more difficult for him to get a stable playing time.

Throughout the season, the Ukrainian international scored only 761 minutes in 23 appearances in various competitions, contributing 1 goal and 1 assist. Despite this, Zinchenko's market situation in the transfer market remains unabated, and many well-known clubs in Europe are closely following his trends. And AC Milan will be one of the potential suitors to compete for his signature this summer.

is already on the way to switch to Serie A?

AC Milan's interest in Zinchenko is not difficult to understand. The main left-back of the "Red and Blacks" is about to leave the team. The French international is very close to joining the Saudi giant Riyadh Crescent this summer. Therefore, AC Milan must introduce a new left-back, and Zinchenko, who can be competent in multiple positions, is undoubtedly a very feasible goal.

As mentioned earlier, Zinchenko's salary is a major obstacle to this deal, and the player himself may need to accept a salary cut in order to successfully land at San Siro Stadium this summer. Currently, his agency team is working hard for this.

The report claimed that Zinchenko himself was "open" to "the solution from the Ross and Blacks." Therefore, how negotiations between the two sides will develop in the next few weeks is undoubtedly worth paying attention to. The 28-year-old Ukrainian international is getting closer and closer to saying goodbye to Arsenal this summer.
