Transfer bombshell from Istanbul! Galatasaray open talks for Arsenal superstar

However, there is a major obstacle: Arsenal are unwilling to let Martinelli leave until they have found a suitable replacement. The further progress of negotiations will therefore depend directly on whether the London side can strengthen their attacking flanks.

Galatasaray see the Brazilian as one of their options to boost their attack after an unsuccessful attempt to land Rafael Leão. Meanwhile, Martinelli has one year remaining on his current contract with Arsenal, with the club holding an option to extend the deal for another season.

It’s worth noting that since joining Arsenal in 2019, Gabriel Martinelli has made 278 appearances for the club, netting 62 goals and providing 36 assists. Transfermarkt values the 25-year-old Brazilian at €45 million.
