Arsenal is keen to retain its key players as it continues the process of rebuilding the squad, but doing so may prove challenging.
Each summer, football clubs face the possibility of losing their top talents, as the transfer market remains highly dynamic. In this environment, any player can be bought or sold, depending on the circumstances. While the wealthiest clubs possess the financial power to hold on to their stars, others may choose to offload marquee players in order to reinvest in other areas of the squad.
Although Arsenal rank among the most financially robust clubs globally and are typically under no immediate pressure to sell, the reality is that every player has a valuation. As such, the club may find itself in a position where it must consider offers for some individuals in the near future.
Interest in Gabriel Martinelli Grows
One player reportedly drawing significant attention this summer is Gabriel Martinelli. The Brazilian forward has emerged as a target for leading clubs across Europe and Saudi Arabia. Despite Arsenal’s desire to keep him, circumstances could shift if the player expresses a wish to depart.
Should Martinelli request to leave, the Gunners would demand a fee in excess of £70 million for his services. This figure reflects their valuation of the player, who joined the club in 2019 for just £6 million. Arsenal now believe that Martinelli is worth close to £100 million.
Arsenal’s Stance on Valuation
As cited by Football Insider, this valuation is considered reasonable when taking into account the current state of the transfer market, where player prices are often significantly inflated. The club appear prepared to stand firm on their asking price, even amid considerable interest. The final decision may hinge on Martinelli’s own ambitions and whether he chooses to remain at the Emirates or seek a new challenge elsewhere.
Ultimately, while Arsenal remain hopeful of keeping their core group intact, the evolving nature of the market and player preferences may influence the club’s next move.

Make up your mind😂😂😂
$50,000 for another average Chelsea player whilst we refuse to pay an extra $5000 for a centre forward we desperately need,omg !
Stop believing everything you see on the internet. How do you know that we’re refusing to pay an extra 5 mil?
I am glad I am not alone in disgust about this matter. spending on players who don’t make the grade aligned with arsenal ambitions so to speak.
if someone could be let go on the eve of such a lifetime moment such as the world Cup , what business does arsenal have in even considering such a prospect even for ‘a moderate fee’. a fee one would expect to pay for world class players such as Liverpool did a season ago.
but them i gave up on arteta the second time he was a runner-up
this is the reason why we always fall short. at least previously it was for lack of funds. today a lot is wasted on surplus quality. this while we claim we need eze & rodrygo.
Edu’s good signings are rapidly being replaced by Arteta’s instigated bunch of scraps signings! I know it will come to that. Partey, one of Edu’s good signings, is already out. Of course nobody will buy the likes of Vieira, Lokonga and a bunch of scraps he jumped ahead of our Sporting Director, Edu, and compelled the domant Executives to buy for him. Now he has descended on our few good players, replacing them with Madueke l who cannot even start at Chelsea!
Arteta depended on the platform Edu almost forced on him to excel, but will later start making his own demand of players that never works.
As for partey it’s a good decision to let him leave bro because he will be facing his trail in court for alleged raping charges on him and he will be suspend from playing any games and that will be the club and the team loss to have someone that they can’t call upon on there list collecting huge amount of salary every week
Which makes me wonder, if everything you say is true, Samson, what Thomas didn’t just sign the contract offered, knowing that club would then be contractually obliged to pay his salary…. unless they had entered a clause regarding any charges?
That way, Thomas would have ensured his future financially – the fact that he didn’t, makes me think he wasn’t expecting charges to be made.
How do work that one out you’ve just listed some Edu’s crap signings. Just wait and what team turns next season.
Martinelli is going nowhere.
If any winger is leaving it can only be Trossard. And that wouldn’t be such a disaster. Martinelli would be the dominant right winger to be supported by Madueke and Eze (if he joins eventually). Jesus also is an option when he returns
Warning to the admin. If you don´t stop shitposting, you will be fired 😉
Jesus shouldn’t be overplayed when he comes back. We need to sell him quickly.
There’s an (unintentionally) amusing line in the article: “this valuation is considered reasonable when taking into account the current state of the transfer market”. As if, in a market (any market, football players, property etc) the “current state” isn’t the one to be taken into account somehow. Anyway.
Well, I agree if this is true.
Anything less than £70m should not be acceptable.
Let’s play the market game like others for the first time
Let just hope this season will go well with the new players coming in. And will need to keep our best player.
Our main focus should be a striker a point man that can deliver in every matches.
Let unit and stand together has an Arsenal football club. We should stop criticizing, player, coach or the management I believe we are getting closer and is time we heat the nail on the head. Gunners for life! Gunners for champion league!! Gunners for premiership!!!
U are right. But this people only believe I. Thier own ideology alone, which isn’t proper, fans knows a lot on the pitch, the process which arteta is planing is to keep havertz upfront, support it with many wingers and continue manage, its seems arteta only have ambition, but not determination to achieve trophies.
I.manage the team with settlements, choice and discrimination. All the players he’s buying except zubimendi, aren’t upgrade or can’t even compete with the available ones we have. He wanted to spoil nwaneri carreer with signing of madueke, whilst nwaneri is completely better than madueke, he’s given youth team that have the DNA of arsenal any chance, rather he’s signing wastes of moneys, he did same when we need vlaovich at his prime, but opt to buy havertz that is midfieder instead of stricker
Whatever rubbish MA does this season, let him just leave G. Martinelli! K. Tierney is gone. He clearly has issues with fans’ favourite. And whatever agreement his ancestors has with Chelsea should be investigated. From Williams, D. Luiz, to Gorginho, Haverts, Kepa and now Madueke? But why is Arsenal filled with lazy scouts who can’t do a descent job? It’s high time we began to doubt the competency of MA
I have always thought there was a unholy alliance Arteta has with Chelsea. His love of Chelsea duds has gone beyond ordinary. Consider that despite the fact Chelsea didn’t want Havertz, not only did Artera pay a ridiculous £65m fir him, he actually made him Arsenal’s highest paid player! Pretty certain he’s going to pay Madueke some unbelievable salary too. Arteta’s dealings with Chelsea need to be investigated, seriously.
A combination of transfer trades that could throw me off Arsenal for a considerable period:
1. Fail to get Gyokeres for any reason, even in the face of the guy’s insistence that Arsenal are the team he wants.
2. Sell Gabriel Martinelli for a penny less than £100m (just selling him alone is heart-breaking in itself), in the face of buying another Chelsea dud/reject for £50m.
3. Buy Real Madrid’s Rodrygo for anything over £50m, while failing to sign a much suited-for-Arsenal player in Eberechi Eze.
4. Sell Trossard while holding on to Zichenko.
Conditions 1 and 2 are most definitely deal breakers for me. I’ll have to scratch off watching Arsenal if either one or both happen.
Arteta won’t sign Gyokeres, even if Sporting offers to us for a penny. And Havertz would be the reason.
Arteta will not sign the very best striker in the world because he doesn’t want a player that’ll come and displace his beloved “son” Havertz from the starting line-up. Arteta will never bench Havertz, even if he becomes far worse than he already is!
