Gabriel Martinelli Rejects Galatasaray Move After €45m Arsenal Bid

Gabriel Martinelli told Arsenal he does not want to join Galatasaray, leaving the club unable to complete the proposed sale without his consent.

  • Gabriel Martinelli rejected a move to Galatasaray, informing Arsenal he does not wish to play in Turkey following the Turkish champions' £45 million bid for the 25-year-old winger, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic.
  • Arsenal remains open to selling the Brazilian if the right opportunity presents itself, though any transfer requires his agreement; the club holds his contract until 2027 with an option to extend until 2028.
  • Manager Arteta's attacking unit faces uncertainty after selling Leandro Trossard to Besiktas and signing Christos Tzolis, meaning losing Martinelli would create another vacancy in the squad.
  • The Gunners' search for a major attacking addition hit roadblocks when Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior rejected their offer and Morgan Rogers opted for Chelsea instead.
  • Arsenal continues exploring alternative options to bolster their front line, reportedly planning to hijack Liverpool's move for Bradley Barcola before the transfer window closes.
