Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli is being touted for a potential exit, as a new club join the race to sign the star this summer.
The Brazilian has been linked with an exit over the past year, following a mixed spell at the Emirates Stadium.
At times, Gabriel Martinelli has been at his very best, showing his pace and clinical edge in front of goal.
However, there have been spells in which the forward hasn’t been quite as impressive, occasionally struggling to take on the opposition full-back.
With Martinelli’s contract dwindling, and talk of Arsenal looking at a left-winger this summer, a move away could be on the cards.
Bayern Munich want Gabriel Martinelli in surprise transfer swoop
With Martinelli facing a potential Arsenal transfer exit, there has been plenty of talk surrounding which clubs could come in for him.
Teams in Saudi Arabia have shown interest in Martinelli, along with his fellow attacker Leandro Trossard on the left.
Now, according to Christian Falk, Bayern Munich have joined the race to sign Martinelli this summer.
The Bavarian side, who knocked Arsenal out of the Champions League in the 2023/24 season, have been on the lookout for a left-sided winger all summer.
Bayern have been in the market for similar targets to the Gunners, eyeing the likes of Rodrygo, Bradley Barcola and more.
It’s unclear whether Arsenal would be open to a sale for Martinelli; however, it could be a move that may fund other deals.
Gabriel Martinelli deal could fund Rodrygo to Arsenal transfer
With links surrounding Martinelli and a potential exit from Arsenal, there are many things for the club to ponder.
One of them will surround the depth on the left wing, given the competition between the Brazilian and Leandro Trossard on that side.
Beyond them, Arsenal have looked to make some additions, one of which is Rodrygo.
The Real Madrid star could leave the club this summer, depending on how new boss Xabi Alonso sees his future under him.
There have been some concerns surrounding the finances for Rodrygo’s transfer, given the fee and wages involved.
However, if Martinelli is sold, then it could raise the funds needed for Arsenal to complete a deal for his Brazilian teammate.
Given his age and profile, the 24-year-old could fetch a big fee for the Gunners.
