The future of Gabriel Martinelli at Arsenal remains uncertain. According to CaughtOffside, Napoli have already reached out to the London club regarding a potential transfer for the 25-year-old Brazilian winger, initiating a dialogue between the parties.

Martinelli himself previously rejected a move to Galatasaray. The Turkish side offered around €45 million, but the player showed no interest in continuing his career in Turkey.

Arsenal, however, are open to considering the Brazilian's sale—but only on one condition: the club must first secure a replacement for the left flank of the attack. Mikel Arteta is unwilling to compromise squad depth, so Martinelli's departure hinges directly on bringing in a new signing.

Napoli aren't the only club interested. According to Football Italia, Roma are also considering Martinelli as a transfer target. Previously, the Brazilian was linked with a potential move to Juventus.

It's worth noting that Martinelli is no longer seen as an undisputed starter for the Gunners, so the management may agree to a transfer if a lucrative offer arrives. At the same time, judging by his refusal to join Galatasaray, the player himself is looking for a project with sporting ambition.
