Gabriel Martinelli transfer alert: Roma and Juventus chase Arsenal winger

Gabriel Martinelli is on the move this summer after Arsenal opened the door to his exit.

At least two Serie A giants-Roma and Juventus-are circling the Arsenal winger, with both clubs tracking the Brazil international’s availability in the current transfer window.

What’s happening with Gabriel Martinelli?

Arsenal are ready to let Martinelli leave as they reshape their attacking options for the new season. The club finished sixth in the Premier League last term and have identified several targets to strengthen their squad.

According to Calciomercato, Roma and Juventus are both monitoring Martinelli’s situation. The two Italian sides see him as a player who can make an immediate impact and would meet Arsenal’s valuation to sign him.

Why Serie A wants Martinelli

Martinelli, 25, has been a key figure for Arsenal since joining from Ituano in 2019. He scored 14 goals and added five assists in all competitions last season, but the Gunners are now looking to add more firepower.

Roma and Juventus view him as a direct solution on the left wing. Both clubs are under pressure to improve their squads after mixed campaigns and see Martinelli as a ready-made replacement for outgoing talent.

The transfer hurdles ahead

Arsenal will demand a significant fee to release Martinelli, which could test the budgets of Roma and Juventus. The Gunners are also chasing Bradley Barcola, Julian Alvarez and Morgan Rogers, so a sale may fund one of those arrivals.

Martinelli is currently on post-World Cup holiday with Brazil and is expected back in pre-season training soon. His future could be decided before then if a bid meets Arsenal’s asking price.

What comes next for Martinelli?

If a move materializes, Martinelli could join Roma or Juventus before the August transfer window closes. Either club would need to finalize terms with Arsenal and agree personal terms with the player.

For Martinelli, a Serie A switch would offer Champions League football and a fresh challenge. For Arsenal, the sale would free up funds and space in their attacking ranks as they push for a top-four return.
