The Saudi Pro League Side Has Held Talks Not Only With Arsenal But Also With the Brazilian's Representatives Over a Potential Move

Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal has moved to sign Brazilian winger Gabriel Martinelli from Premier League side Arsenal, with the London club reportedly demanding around €70 million for the 25-year-old. According to The Athletic's David Ornstein, Al Hilal is continuing its efforts to secure Martinelli's transfer. The Saudi Pro League side has held talks not only with Arsenal but also with the Brazilian's representatives over a potential move.

While no agreement has yet been reached between the clubs, Arsenal is said to be seeking approximately €70 million in transfer fees for Martinelli. As negotiations between the parties continue, the winger is reportedly open to the possibility of joining Al Hilal. Earlier, on August 12, The Athletic reported that Arsenal had received a €45 million ($51.8 million / £38.4 million) offer from Galatasaray for Martinelli.

However, the Brazilian's camp later informed Arsenal's management that he was not interested in moving to the Turkish club. Martinelli joined Arsenal in 2019 from Brazilian side Ituano. He has made 278 appearances for Arsenal's first team, scoring 62 goals.
