Al Hilal push again for Martinelli

Al Hilal have submitted a fresh bid for Gabriel Martinelli, with Arsenal now considering whether to approve a sale as they reshape their squad. The North London club are targeting Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez but must generate funds after spending close to £200 million on Bruno Guimaraes, Ezri Konsa, Piero Hincapie and Christos Tzolis. Reports suggest both Miles Lewis‑Skelly and Martinelli are on the transfer list, although Mikel Arteta has indicated Lewis‑Skelly will remain.

Transfer expert Ben Jacobs revealed that Al Hilal’s latest proposal is €55 million plus €4 million in add‑ons, while Arsenal are holding out for closer to €60 million. Martinelli is now assessing his future as talks continue. Paris Saint‑Germain winger Bradley Barcola has emerged as a potential replacement, though Liverpool are also in the race. With the window entering its final week, Arsenal face a decisive moment regarding one of their most valuable attacking assets.
