Galatasaray has plans to keep talking with Arsenal over Martinelli

Galatasaray do not plan to end talks with Arsenal over Gabriel Martinelli soon, even though their opening offer does not appear to be good enough. The Brazilian attacker could be sold this summer for the right price, and Arsenal are working as hard as they can to ensure that happens quickly so they can sign a replacement.

Martinelli has been one of Arsenal’s best servants since Mikel Arteta became their manager, and the manager would continue to work with him if he stays. Christos Tzolis is the only other left winger in their squad now, so if Arsenal sell Martinelli, they will have to replace him.

Galatasaray Step Up Martinelli Pursuit

Martinelli would love to remain at Arsenal because he believes he can achieve more at the club. However, Galatasaray are serious about signing him, and Sport Witness says they have even authorised the agent who helped them sign Victor Osimhen to lead the talks as an intermediary.

The success of George Gardi in their pursuit of Osimhen has given Galatasaray confidence in him, and he has now been tasked with trying to reach an agreement with Arsenal for Martinelli. His involvement could help the Turkish club continue negotiations despite their opening offer appearing insufficient.

Arsenal Face Decision Over Martinelli

Arsenal will have to consider whether the right offer arrives before deciding to part ways with Martinelli. The club are keen to move quickly if they sell him because they would then need to find a replacement, while Arteta would also have to adjust his attacking options.

Galatasaray, meanwhile, have no plans to give up on the deal and will continue trying to convince Arsenal and Martinelli. The Brazilian’s preference is to remain in London, but the Turkish club are determined to make the transfer happen.

In the next few days, it could become clearer whether Galatasaray can convince Martinelli to move to the Turkish league at this stage of his career. The outcome will depend on whether they can improve their proposal and persuade the attacker that the move is right for him.
