The bigger picture
Arsenal’s recruitment team continues to focus on players who fit the club’s long-term strategy under Mikel Arteta. Technical quality, tactical intelligence and versatility remain key attributes as the club assesses potential additions ahead of the new campaign.
The club has consistently looked to add players capable of improving both the starting XI and overall squad depth, particularly with the demands of competing in the Premier League and Champions League. Arsenal are expected to strengthen multiple areas of the squad this summer and continue to monitor opportunities across Europe and South America.
Arsenal are expected to make several important decisions regarding the composition of the squad this summer. While strengthening key areas remains a priority, the club could also consider offers for certain players if it helps fund new arrivals and maintain financial flexibility.
Securing the futures of key players remains just as important as making new signings. Arsenal have worked hard to build one of the strongest squads in Europe, and maintaining stability within the group will be crucial as the club looks to continue competing for major honours.
Our View
Martinelli’s situation is one worth monitoring closely. While the Brazilian remains an important player for Arsenal, the reality is that every squad evolves over time and difficult decisions sometimes have to be made. The Gunners are reportedly demanding around £50m, and the 24-year-old would definitely attract interest from multiple top clubs across Europe. PSG and Barcelona are among the clubs being linked with the Arsenal forward.

Should a significant offer arrive, Arsenal may at least be forced to consider their options, particularly if it could help fund reinforcements elsewhere in the squad. However, replacing a player of Martinelli’s quality would be far from straightforward.
