Gabriel Martinelli, a 25-year-old Brazilian winger, is no longer a player for Arsenal as he joins Al-Hilal after the Saudi club sealed his transfer for around 70 million euros. The forward signs a four-season contract, until 2030, ending his seven-year spell in the Premier League.

This move makes Martinelli Arsenal's most expensive sale in history, breaking the record set since Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's departure to Liverpool in 2017, a transfer that was around 40 million pounds.

Gabriel Martinelli leaves 70 million in Arsenal's accounts

The transfer represents a significant change in Arsenal's sales policy. In recent years, the club had made major acquisitions, far exceeding the amounts obtained from their key departures, despite spending figures like 116.6 million euros on Declan Rice.

Gabriel Martinelli arrived in London in 2019 from Ituano at the age of 18. Since then, he has played 278 official matches, scored 62 goals, and contributed to winning a Premier League, an FA Cup, and a Community Shield.

His departure follows a decrease in his role within the offensive rotation in recent months. While he was part of the team that won the previous Premier League, his sporting situation led to a transfer during the final stretch of the market.

The approximately 70 million euros now paid by Al-Hilal enable Arsenal to make a significant profit compared to his signing from Brazil. Additionally, the deal includes a clause regarding a potential future sale of the player, as reported in England.

Al-Hilal strengthens its attack with Martinelli, Watkins, and Summerville

In the 2026/27 season, Al-Hilal adds Martinelli as another key signing. The Saudi club had previously bolstered its attack with Ollie Watkins from Aston Villa and Crysencio Summerville from West Ham.

Watkins arrived in a deal worth around 58 million euros and signed for three seasons, while Summerville committed to the club for four years. All three players join directly from English football.

This offensive reshaping follows the departure of Karim Benzema, whose contract with the club was terminated before the market closed. Al-Hilal has turned to several players from the Premier League to revamp its attacking line.

Martinelli joins a team aiming to reclaim the Saudi championship after finishing as runners-up in the last two seasons. His contract until 2030 indicates that this move is not just a short-term addition to the squad.

Next, Gabriel Martinelli will immediately start training with Al-Hilal, who are scheduled to face Al-Shabab in their next league match. Having definitively ended his chapter in the Premier League, the Brazilian embarks on a new phase with a four-year contract and the responsibility of being Arsenal's most significant sale to date.
