Gabriel Martinelli Nears Arsenal Exit as Al-Hilal Close in on Deal for Brazilian Winger

Al-Hilal are offering Gabriel Martinelli more than $23 million plus bonuses as Arsenal seek a sell-on clause and a $9.3 million fee gap remains.

  • Al-Hilal have opened direct club-to-club talks with Arsenal to sign forward Gabriel Martinelli, identifying the Brazilian as their preferred target over Pedro Neto and Francisco Conceicao.
  • After previously prioritizing European clubs, Martinelli is now open to the move, while Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has excluded him from recent competitive matchday squads.
  • Club-to-Club negotiations are progressing smoothly, though a gap of around $9.3 million remains between valuations, and Arsenal intends to include a sell-on clause of up to 20 per cent of any future profit.
  • Al-Hilal are confident they will soon pair Martinelli with Ollie Watkins, who was left out of the Aston Villa squad for their 4-0 defeat to Brighton on Sunday.
  • Arsenal could reinvest proceeds from what would be a club-record sale into Atletico Madrid striker Julian Alvarez, though he is not a direct replacement for left winger Martinelli.
