Overview

• Multiple Sept. 8 reports say Arsenal are willing to consider bids for the winger after a drop in influence over the past two seasons.
• New sporting director Andrea Berta is reported to have set a £60m summer valuation, while suitors rated him closer to £40m, which stalled any move.
• AC Milan are named as a keen suitor, with the possibility of revisiting the situation in January highlighted by several outlets.
• Competition from arrivals Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke, plus a recent benching, has raised questions about Martinelli’s starting status.
• Arsenal retain leverage with a contract running to 2027 with an option, and some reports suggest a sale could help fund a future push for Real Madrid’s Rodrygo.
