Atletico Madrid wants to add Arsenal star to their squad this summer

Atletico Madrid are the latest club to show interest in Gabriel Martinelli as Arsenal look to ensure they can offload the Brazilian attacker during this transfer window.

Martinelli has produced several impressive performances for Arsenal and played a role in their success last season. However, the winger has not consistently reached the highest levels expected of him since joining the club.

The Gunners believe a player such as Bradley Barcola could provide more in that position and are interested in signing the Frenchman during this transfer window. Arsenal continue to monitor Barcola and may need to sell Martinelli before making their move.

Atletico Madrid Consider Martinelli Move

Arsenal would welcome interest from potential suitors, and the latest reports from Spain could provide a boost as they look to complete their plans for the squad.

According to Fichajes, Atletico Madrid are the latest club showing interest in signing Martinelli and want to add the Brazilian winger to their squad in the next transfer window.

The report states that Atletico have a list of players they would like to bring into the team, with Martinelli included among their targets. The Spanish club are therefore expected to consider making an approach to Arsenal for his signature in the coming days.

Martinelli Faces Uncertain Arsenal Future

A move away from Arsenal could become an option for Martinelli if the club decide to complete their pursuit of Barcola. The Brazilian may face increased competition for regular playing time if another attacking option arrives at the Emirates Stadium.

The attacker is expected to consider his future carefully, but a transfer to Atletico Madrid could provide him with the opportunity to continue playing at a high level.

Martinelli has shown his quality during his time at Arsenal, but the club’s plans for the future could lead to changes in their attacking options. If Atletico make a serious offer, the winger could be open to considering a new challenge.
