Arsenal are considering offering Martin Zubimendi in a potential swap deal for Atletico Madrid winger Alex Baena, according to The Independent. The proposed transfer could help the Gunners secure Baena while freeing up funds for a future move for Bournemouth striker Junior Kroupi. Atletico reportedly value Baena at approximately £67m, closely matching the £60m Arsenal originally paid for Zubimendi.
While a permanent deal for Baena could happen early in the new year, Bournemouth are expected to keep Kroupi until the summer. The 20-year-old French forward is anticipated to command a fee exceeding £83.5m, bringing the combined value of both forward targets to over £150m.
