Arsenal open to Gabriel Martinelli exit

Arsenal are ready to sell Gabriel Martinelli in the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. Bayern Munich are interested in signing Martinelli, and former Manchester United and Blackburn Rovers chief scout, Mick Brown, has said that the Gunners would be open to a departure of the Brazil international winger.

Brown told Football Insider: “Arsenal are willing to let Martinelli go. They’ve made the decision that he doesn’t fit the bill consistently enough for them.

“They’ve weighed everything up, they know he can come into the team and does something brilliant, but then he’ll revert back to struggling to make an impact.

“It’s a difficult one, but it’s a decision they’ve made because they think they can improve on him.

“Arsenal are prepared to let him go if any club is willing to make a decent offer for him.

“Bayern Munich are one club I’ve been told have looked at him, and I think we’ve said before they want to strengthen out wide after losing some players.

“From his point of view, going to Germany would allow him to thrive and show what he can do.

“Playing for a dominant team against weaker opposition might help him find that consistency.

“He would be a good option for them with his pace, and it takes him out of the pressure of the Premier League and especially playing for Arsenal.

“As we’ve said, Bayern are looking at a few players in that position, and he is one of them.”
