Borussia Dortmund's interest in Chelsea's Renato Veiga has cooled due to Chelsea’s demand for a £20 million permanent transfer. As a result, Dortmund have turned their attention to Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko for an initial loan deal. The Ukrainian left-back, who has struggled for game time under Mikel Arteta this season, could find a fresh start in the Bundesliga.
- Veiga Transfer Stalls: Chelsea will only allow Renato Veiga to leave on a permanent deal, derailing Dortmund's plans for a loan move.
- Zinchenko as an Alternative: Dortmund are exploring a loan deal for Zinchenko, who has fallen out of favor at Arsenal with just seven league appearances this season.
- Dortmund's Recent Success: The club's history of revitalizing players like Jadon Sancho and Ian Maatsen through similar moves could entice Zinchenko to make the switch.
- Potential Summer Move: A successful loan spell could set the stage for a permanent transfer in the summer.
