Gabriel Martinelli faces possible Saudi move as Arsenal trim squad

Arsenal have made clear that Gabriel Martinelli is surplus to requirements for the upcoming season and intend to offload him to free up space for new signings. The Brazilian forward turned down an approach from Galatasaray, preferring to remain in a top European league, but no suitable offer has materialised. Reports indicate Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal are prepared to meet Arsenal's valuation of €50 million and offer Martinelli a high-paying deal.

This potential transfer would give Arsenal a financial boost and allow them to add another winger before the window closes. Martinelli remains determined to fight for his place, yet his diminishing role may force him to consider the Saudi proposal. The outcome hinges on whether a European club presents an acceptable bid before the deadline.
