Gabriel Martinelli is the subject of transfer interest from Galatasaray after they failed to sign Rafa Leao, but the Arsenal man does not want to leave and certainly does not want to move to Turkiye.
In recent seasons, Martinelli’s form has not been the best, and there is a good chance that he will remain on the bench for Christos Tzolis to start games at Arsenal. That happened several times last season, when Leandro Trossard was preferred to the Brazilian winger, but the Belgian has been sold and replaced by the Greek star.
Although Arsenal are interested in players such as Bradley Barcola, the Gunners will stick with Martinelli if he stays, but they are more than happy to sell him to Gala.
Martinelli Rejects Galatasaray Interest
The Turkish side can also offer him a good salary, which could be much better than what he earns at Arsenal at the moment, but he does not want to move to the Turkish club.
Martinelli appears determined to continue his career elsewhere rather than in Turkiye if he eventually leaves Arsenal. Despite the potential financial benefits of a move, the Brazilian winger has no desire to join Galatasaray at this stage of his career.
The situation leaves Arsenal with a decision to make over his future. The Gunners could keep him if he remains at the club, but they are also open to selling him if the right opportunity arrives.
Romano Provides Update on Martinelli
Fabrizio Romano has delivered an update on his future and says “Nothing expected to happen in the upcoming weeks with Turkish clubs, including Galatasaray ” because Martinelli simply will not move to that country at this stage of his career.
The update suggests Galatasaray are unlikely to make progress in their pursuit of the Arsenal winger in the near future. Martinelli’s preference appears clear, despite the Turkish club’s ability to offer him an attractive salary.
If Arsenal do not offer him a new contract by the end of the season, he will have a year left on his deal and could then decide to leave for another club.
Martinelli’s future therefore remains uncertain, but a move to Galatasaray does not appear to be an option he is considering. Arsenal will have to decide whether to renew his contract or allow his situation to develop as he approaches the final year of his current agreement.
