Martin Zubimendi of Arsenal – Photo via IMAGO / Action PlusMartin Zubimendi is determined to fight for his Arsenal future, with reports suggesting that the World Cup-winning midfielder would consider a January exit if he is not restored to a regular role.
It's believed the 27‑year‑old has spoken directly with Gunners boss Mikel Arteta, who remains a strong admirer, but increased competition has left his minutes uncertain heading into 2027.
Real Madrid and Chelsea continue to monitor the situation, alongside several other European clubs, though the £60m Spain star has no interest in a Saudi move.
Arsenal expect him to stay and compete, but the coming months will dictate whether he remains part of Arteta’s plans or becomes a high‑profile winter departure.
Liverpool missed out on Marco Palestra
Marco Palestra of Chelsea – Photo via IMAGO / Crystal PixLiverpool failed to add depth to the right-back position this summer, missing out on several targets amid uncertainty over Jeremie Frimpong.
The Athletic now claims that the Reds explored a move for Atalanta winger Marco Palestra, but were unable to compete once Chelsea accelerated their bid.
Their need to replace Mohamed Salah, and the difficulty raising funds through fringe sales, ultimately limited their ability to challenge the Blues for the 21-year-old defender, who ultimately chose Stamford Bridge.
The hierarchy now hope Conor Bradley’s return from injury stabilises the right‑back position, though missing out on Palestra highlights a wider concern heading into 2027.
Newcastle dealt Giorgio Scalvini blow
Giorgio Scalvini of Atalanta – Photo via IMAGO / Giuseppe MaffiaNewcastle United have been handed a fresh blow in their pursuit of summer target Giorgio Scalvini.
Fabrizio Romano claims that Atalanta have tied the 22-year-old centre-back down to a new contract after rejecting approaches during the window.
The highly-rated defender has signed improved terms, ending any immediate hope of a move to St James’ Park. Scalvini had been viewed as a long‑term target, but this update effectively shuts the door for now.
Newcastle boss Matthias Jaissle will be forced to revisit alternative options heading into 2027 as his search for reinforcements continues.
