Arsenal may be about to lose one of the more electric presences in their attack. Gabriel Martinelli, the Brazilian winger who joined the club from Ituano back in July 2019, is open to leaving the Emirates this summer, with his future becoming one of the more closely watched storylines of the transfer window.
He has two years remaining on his current contract, plus an option for a one-year extension. That is not the profile of a player whose club holds all the cards.
What we know about the departure talk
Arsenal’s reported willingness to entertain offers for Martinelli appears tied to a broader reshaping of the squad’s attacking options. The club has been linked with left-sided attackers including Bradley Barcola and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, suggesting that any Martinelli sale would be less about cutting losses and more about funding an upgrade in profile.
Reports place the window for serious offers opening around late June 2026, with Leandro Trossard also potentially available.
