Arsenal face a January transfer decision over Noni Madueke, with Atlético Madrid and Juventus monitoring the winger’s situation at the Emirates Stadium.
The 24-year-old has struggled to secure regular Premier League minutes under Mikel Arteta this season, raising the possibility of a temporary move when the transfer window opens.
Sources close to the agents’ industry say both clubs are considering Madueke, with loan deals regarded as the most realistic option. An agreement could potentially include a route to a permanent transfer, although no formal negotiations have taken place.

Atlético are understood to view Madueke as a player who could bring greater pace and directness to Diego Simeone’s attack.
Juventus are also believed to admire his ability to take on defenders one-on-one and offer more variety on the right flank.
Madueke remains highly rated at Arsenal, but competition for attacking places has limited his opportunities. He did feature for 18 minutes in the 1-0 Champions League victory over Napoli, indicating that he remains part of Arteta’s plans.
A move away could nevertheless appeal to Madueke if his playing time does not improve. At 24, he is at an important stage of his career and will want more consistent first-team football.
Arsenal would need to weigh that against the risk of reducing their attacking options during a campaign in which they are competing on several fronts.
Madueke offers a different profile to the club’s other forwards, with his left foot, pace and willingness to cut inside from the right. Those qualities could become increasingly valuable as injuries and fixture congestion take their toll.
A permanent departure would appear premature, particularly with the winger’s contract running until 2030 and Arsenal under no immediate pressure to sell.
For now, a carefully structured loan could provide a compromise. However, continued interest from Atlético Madrid and Juventus is likely if Madueke remains on the fringes of Arsenal’s first-team plans before January.
