Bayern Munich are reportedly hoping to improve their unit by signing Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli in the summer transfer window.
According to a report from CF Bayern Insider, Bayern Munich have established contact with Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli, and it will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer to sign him.
Martinelli had an underwhelming 2024/25 season, but he is a quality player. He had 16 goal contributions for Arsenal in all competitions. It remains to be seen whether the Bundesliga champions can get a deal done. They need to add more goals and creativity to the side after the departure of Leroy Sane.
The Brazilian international is highly rated across Europe, and he has the tools to develop into a top-class player. He could be an asset for the German champions if they manage to get the deal done. However, it seems highly unlikely that Arsenal will let him leave. They are already lacking in the attacking unit, and selling the South American will only weaken them further.
Arsenal have not been able to bring in a quality attacker so far. They are unlikely to sanction the departure of their existing players without bringing in quality alternatives. Meanwhile, the lack of a quality attacker has cost Arsenal the league title in the last few seasons, and they will not want to weaken the squad, especially in that area of the pitch.
Martinelli unlikely to force an exit
Furthermore, Martinelli has been pushing for major trophies with Arsenal regularly, and it is unlikely that he will force an exit from the London club. The player is enjoying his football at Arsenal, and he is a key player for the team. He will not want to push for an exit anytime soon. It will be difficult for Bayern Munich to convince the player and Arsenal.
The German champions were mediocre in the UEFA Champions League last season, and they will look to do well in the European competition. They need quality players to do that, and it is no surprise that they are looking at players like Martinelli. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the right additions before the summer transfer window closes.
