Galatasaray ‘considering’ move for Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli | OneFootball

Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Süper Lig champions Galatasaray have added Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli to their shortlist as they assess left-sided options.

The 25-year-old Brazil international is viewed as a leading alternative if negotiations for AC Milan forward Rafael Leão do not advance.

No formal bid has been made. Arsenal are under no immediate financial pressure to sell, and Martinelli is on a long-term deal at the Emirates.

Any departure would hinge on Mikel Arteta first lining up a top-tier replacement for the left flank.

Arsenal’s left side has shifted this window following the arrival of Christos Tzolis, with Arteta continuing to test combinations. Without another high-profile addition in Martinelli’s role, he is expected to remain central to plans for 2026/27.
