Transfer: Flick speaks on Barcelona signing new striker as Arsenal receive offer for Martinelli

Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick has revealed that he will speak with the club’s sporting director, Deco, regarding the signing of a new striker this week.
Flick spoke during his post-match interview after Barcelona’s 5-0 win over Elche in LaLiga on Sunday.

Speaking about the possibility of Barcelona signing a new striker before the summer transfer window closes next week, Flick said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano: “I will speak to Deco, and we will see. Let’s see what happens this week.”

Meanwhile, in another development, Al Hilal have submitted a €55 million bid for Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli.

According to The Times’ Gary Jacob, the Saudi Arabian club are now hoping to tempt Arsenal into selling the 25-year-old before the transfer window closes.

However, Arsenal are yet to accept the offer, which falls below their reported £60 million asking price for Martinelli.

Martinelli was linked with Galatasaray earlier in the summer, as Arsenal appear open to letting the Brazilian leave this summer.
