Arsenal are preparing to part ways with three members of their squad this summer, with Atlético Madrid emerging as a prominent suitor for midfielder Martín Zubimendi, according to reports.

The Spanish club are among the leading candidates to land Zubimendi, who has struggled to cement a regular place in the Arsenal first team since joining the club. His departure would represent a significant piece of business as the Gunners reshape their midfield options ahead of next season.

Viktor Gyökeres and Mikel Merino are also understood to be on the list of players Arsenal could move on. Both have attracted attention from clubs across Europe, and the North London side appear willing to listen to offers for all three men as they look to streamline their squad.

The potential exits mark a busy window ahead for Arsenal, who are expected to balance outgoings with targeted additions as manager Mikel Arteta continues to refine his side. The club have shown a willingness in recent transfer windows to make decisive moves, and this summer looks set to follow that trend.

Atlético Madrid, under coach Diego Simeone, have long favoured experienced, technically assured midfielders — a profile that Zubimendi fits well. A move to the Spanish capital could offer the player the consistent playing time he has been unable to secure at the Emirates.
