Transfer: Martinelli's €65m Move From Arsenal 'in Final Stages'

Arsenal are awaiting Gabriel Martinelli’s approval on personal terms after verbally agreeing a package above £65 million with Al Hilal, reports said.

  • Arsenal is nearing a club-record sale of Gabriel Martinelli to Al Hilal after the clubs reached a verbal agreement on a package worth more than £65 million, pending the player's final approval.
  • Manager Mikel Arteta excluded Martinelli from matchday squads for the Community Shield and Coventry City opener, signaling the winger has fallen down the attacking pecking order this season.
  • Club legend Ian Wright criticized the handling on Sky Sports, stating Martinelli has not been spoken to about his future and "He's done enough with this squad to be treated with a little bit more respect."
  • Martinelli's representatives are in direct contact with Al Hilal to finalize personal terms, while Arsenal stands ready to authorize a medical once contractual details are settled.
  • Selling the winger provides Arsenal with significant capital to reshape the frontline under Arteta, enabling the club to reinvest proceeds from what would be a record sale into improving squad quality.
