Gabriel Martinelli could continue his career in Serie A, with at least two clubs from the competition considering a move for the Arsenal forward during the current transfer window.

Arsenal are prepared to allow the Brazilian to leave this summer as they look to build a stronger squad and improve on their performances from the previous campaign. The Gunners are working to ensure they have the right balance within the team and have identified several attacking targets.

Italian clubs monitor Martinelli

Arsenal have been linked with moves for Bradley Barcola, Julian Alvarez and Morgan Rogers as they look to strengthen their attacking options. If Martinelli and Leandro Trossard both leave, at least one of those players could arrive before the new season begins.

According to Calciomercato, AS Roma and Juventus are considering moves for Martinelli as both clubs look to improve their squads. The report states that the two Italian sides view the Brazilian as a player capable of making a significant impact and would be willing to meet Arsenal’s demands to secure his signature.

Martinelli is currently on holiday after representing Brazil at the World Cup and is expected to return later. However, his future could be decided before he resumes preparations for the new season, with the possibility of him leaving Arsenal remaining open.

Arsenal face transfer decision

The Brazilian has been an important player for Arsenal, but the club appear ready to make changes as they reshape their attacking options. A potential departure would depend on whether suitable offers arrive and whether all parties agree on the conditions of a transfer.

For Italian clubs, completing a deal could prove difficult if Arsenal demand a significant fee for Martinelli. Both Roma and Juventus may need to assess whether they can meet the Gunners’ valuation before making a formal approach.

The coming weeks could be decisive for Martinelli’s future, with interest from Serie A providing him with another possible route if he does leave Arsenal this summer.

  1. No way we should entertain this unless we have a proper replacement lined up. Tzolis is not that.

  2. With all due respect, Arteta has one of the lowest intellectual capacity in terms of quality player identification and he never allow those that knows it to do there work. Edu angrily left because of this.
    Dropping of Martinelli in the starting lineup of Champions league, in addition to the use of Hincapie at left back instead of Lewis-Skelly that has been doing excellently well in that position, cost us Champions league trophy. Now he want to sell Martinelli for Alvarez who was a mere passenger on his team when we hammered Atletico Madrid 4 nil at the beginning of the season, with Martinelli as usual, being on the score sheet!
    We may be worst than Liverpool if Arsenal allow Arteta to do his wish.

    1. Lewis-Skelly wasn’t playing.well.in that position, hence he was moved into midfield

    2. Lewis-Skelly was good but not at Hincapie at left back. Martinelli is good but inconsistent, a super sub though, but trust me, Alvarez is a better and complete forward than Martinelli. However, if Trossard leaves, it would be unwise to let Martinelli leave even if we get Alvarez and Tzolis.

  3. One thing neither Alvarez nor Tzolis has that Martinelli does. And that’s EPL experience.

    1. True about Tzolis. As a side note I read a fair-minded Brugge fan saying he’s probably not ideal yet for a top team like Arsenal facing consistent low blocks in the EPL. His striking is high class, but he’s not an elite dribbler.

      Alvarez though is a 2x Premier League champion with Man City, and left because he couldn’t get regular starts in big games over Haaland. Elite level forward. No argument with bringing him in from me.

    2. Tzolis has PL experience, he played for Norwich when the were last in the PL.
