British Media: Martinelli's Transfer to Al Hilal Makes Progress, Player Seriously Considering Move

According to Sky Sports, Arsenal and Brazilian winger Martinelli are open to a move to Al Hilal. The 25-year-old player rejected an offer from Turkish club Galatasaray last week. It is reported that Arsenal are interested in Juventus forward Yildiz, but he could face a long absence due to a foot injury.

Arsenal and Al Hilal have made progress in talks over Gabriel Martinelli's transfer in recent days. If the two clubs can reach an agreement, Martinelli is seriously considering joining Al Hilal. As a fee agreement approaches, it is expected to include a sell-on clause worth 20% of any future profits.

Martinelli was not included in Arsenal's squad for their Community Shield victory over Manchester City or their opening-round win over Coventry. Martinelli has played for Arsenal since 2019 and helped the Gunners win the Premier League title last season.

Before the transfer deadline, Arsenal are also searching for potential new striker options, with Atletico Madrid's Julian Alvarez remaining their top target.

Reports have linked Arsenal with Juventus forward Kenan Yildiz, but according to Sky Sport Italia, Yildiz has suffered a left-foot injury and could face a lengthy absence. Sky Sport Italia reported that Juventus' medical team is studying various methods to find the best solution, but surgery has not been ruled out, which could keep him out for several weeks.
