Gabriel Martinelli is prepared to leave Arsenal this summer, according to multiple reports. The Brazilian winger, who joined from Ituano in 2019, has two years remaining on his contract with an option for a one-year extension, but the club is willing to listen to offers.
Arsenal’s interest in left-sided attackers like Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia signals that a Martinelli sale would directly finance a squad upgrade. Serious proposals are expected by late June, with Real Madrid reportedly readying a £45 million bid. Bayern Munich and Atlético Madrid are also in the mix.
Martinelli became a regular under Mikel Arteta, prized for his directness and pressing intensity. Recent tactical shifts reduced his role, and a move now suits all parties. For the buyers, a mid-twenties winger with Premier League and World Cup experience at that price represents strong value.
Arsenal would redirect the fee toward a replacement, continuing the strategic reshaping of their attack.
