Gabriel Martinelli and Mats Wieffer hustling for the ball in a Premier League match recently
Al-Hilal have held talks with Arsenal over a potential move for winger Gabriel Martinelli, with the Saudi Arabian club prepared to make a bid higher than Galatasaray’s £38.54m offer.
Martinelli has been told by Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta that he is free to leave the club this summer, with the Brazilian no longer considered part of his plans.
Galatasaray showed interest in the 24-year-old earlier this summer and submitted a €45m (£38.54m) bid for the forward. However, Martinelli was not willing to consider a move to Istanbul.
As reported by BBC Sport on Sunday, Al-Hilal have now entered the race and have communicated to Arsenal that they are willing to offer more than the Turkish club’s proposal.
