Overview

• Arsenal were open to a sale early in the window but valued Gabriel Martinelli around £60m as interest clustered near £40m, per reports citing the Daily Mail.
• The club pulled back from negotiations to avoid a drawn‑out saga and kept the winger for the 2025–26 campaign.
• Eberechi Eze, Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyökeres were signed to boost the attack, increasing competition for Martinelli’s minutes.
• The 24-year-old has yet to register a goal or assist this season after two quieter years following his 2022–23 breakout.
• His deal runs to 2027 with an option year, Bayern Munich were reported as an admirer, and no extension talks have been noted.
