Galatasaray lodge €40m bid for Arsenal winger Martinelli

Galatasaray have reportedly submitted an offer of €40m to sign Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli.

Martinelli is free to leave Arsenal this summer if the club receive a suitable offer, having entered the final 12 months of his contract in North London.

Arsenal are eager to sign another left-winger, having already acquired Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge, with offers to be considered for Martinelli.

The Gunners are reportedly preparing an approach for Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz, after top target Vinicius Junior signed a new deal at Real Madrid.

According to Turkish journalist Haluk Yurekli, Galatasaray have now made a bid of €40m (£34.1m) for Martinelli.

The Süper Lig side want to make Martinelli the latest high-profile addition from the Premier League to the league, following the arrivals of Mohamed Salah (Trabzonspor), Leandro Trossard (Bestikas), and Nathan Ake (Fenerbahce).

Martinelli struggled for form last season despite Arsenal’s title success, making only 11 league starts and scoring once. His performances in Europe were improved, scoring six times as Arsenal reached the 2026 Champions League final.
