Arsenal are willing to listen to offers for Gabriel Martinello, according to a report, and AC Milan have been alerted by the news.
CaughtOffside cite ‘sources close to the agent industry’ in claiming that Arsenal could be allowed to leave Arsenal, despite the fact that he was ‘once hailed as a cornerstone’ of Mikel Arteta’s project, especially after a 15-goal season in 2022-23.

He has not been as consistency in the campaigns that have followed, and the signing of Noni Madueke seems to have put his starting spot in jeopardy.
Milan keen on Martinelli
Arsenal apparently wanted £60m to consider selling Martinelli during the window that has just closed, which is just short of €70m. However, the teams that were interested did not see a reason to pay more than £40m (€46m) so things never went anywhere.
The report adds that Milan are ‘particularly interested’ in the Brazilian, because they are ‘bracing for the possible departure of Rafael Leão’. Martinelli’s contract expires in 2027 but with an option for an additional year, so they have leverage in negotiations.
In the coming window, Arsenal are looking to sign Real Madrid’s Rodrygo but he would command a fee of around €100m and a salary in excess of €10m per year. If that is to become realistic, then they need to cash on on Martinelli, especially after signing Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke.
It must be noted that there have been no reports suggesting Leao wants to leave Milan or even that a club has put in an offer that would be considered, plus his deal expires in 2028 so there is no urgent deadline.
No thank you, this guy is like a worse version of Denilson, thing is he can’t even dribble never mind actually creating and finishing chances.
If Martinelli is 70m then surely Leao is worth at least up to his release clause and then some
this guy is pure ass cheeks at football, can’t even dribble as a brazilian, arsenal fans want him out and everybody in the prem knows this guy is a pure flop
Rubbish
Leão dribbles more Brazilian than him…
Milan doesn’t need to sign another overrated player who has hard time scoring 10 goals a season to replace Leao. If Leao leaves, they already have the players to play in his position in Nkunku and Pulisic.
Exactly. You first me to this comment.
No uncertainty with Leao fake reporter please if you don’t have any new news and story go to the World Cup Qualifier centres and get current news
Leave Milan players alone
Your fake news demoralized and unsettled our players and fans
Enemy of Milan
70 mill?!? These clubs are crazy, sesko, ekitike come to mind
Visionless leadership with mediocre ambition
What a stupid, senseless, idiotic, false and meaningless article!!! Not worth the minute to read this crap.
Leao looks gonna leave soon, probably a year or so.
He will not renew the contract. Looks pretty sure
No from me
Martinelli is flopp n inconsistence player , n Milan become stupid idiot if buy him, its better Okafor than him. Milan can use Pulisic or Nkuku to subtitute Leao if Leao i jure or sold, n in right winger can use Saelemaker or buy Chiesa
he is a fantastic winger only if he is not playing under a mediocre manager
