Arsenal Quietly Open to Offers for Martinelli as January Interest Grows

A summer valuation gap kept him at the Emirates after Andrea Berta reassessed his role following the arrivals of Eberechi Eze plus Noni Madueke.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Arsenal will consider suitable bids for Gabriel Martinelli despite no move materialising in the summer window.
  • The situation could be revisited in January, with AC Milan named as a leading suitor exploring options if Rafael Leão leaves.
  • Arsenal valued the winger at about £60 million in the summer, while interested clubs were closer to £40 million, which halted negotiations.
  • Competition for the left-sided role has intensified after Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke joined, and a recent benching indicates a shift in selection.
  • Some reporting links any sale to funding a potential pursuit of Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, which would necessitate changes to Arsenal’s wage structure.
