Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli is open to joining Bayern Munich IF the Gunners sign another left winger this summer, according to reports.
TBRFootball claim that the Bundesliga champions have been in contact with the Brazilian’s agents and his entourage have “told Bayern” about the conditions required for a move to go ahead.

Martinelli has been a regular starter for Mikel Arteta’s side in recent years but there is a feeling that the club are seeking an upgrade.
They are very keen on signing Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, while they also hold a firm interest in both Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams and Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon.
Bayern are determined to recruit a winger
Having lost Leroy Sane on a free transfer, Vincent Kompany’s team have been scouring the market for potential replacements.
Sporting director Max Eberl made a concerted effort to sign Williams from Athletic but the Spanish international is currently holding out for a transfer to Barcelona.
Eberl has also had an enquiry for Liverpool’s Luis Diaz knocked back, and their search has now led them to consider buying Martinelli.
What are the chances of Arsenal signing Rodrygo?
Of course, the Gunners wouldn’t even consider letting Martinelli go unless they have a replacement lined up.
As mentioned, Real Madrid’s Rodrygo is one of the top targets. The Brazilian was an unused substitute in Real’s last 16 win over Juventus in the Club World Cup on Tuesday night.
It is believed that Rodrygo wants to hold further talks with the club after the tournament to discuss what his role will be going forward. If he doesn’t get the answers he wants, he could seek a move away from Bernabeu. An offer of around €90m (£77m) may be required to secure the 24-year-old’s signature.
