UEFA Champions League
El Al Nassr, with the aim of raising its competitive level for the next season in Saudi Arabia, has decided to heavily bet on strengthening its attack. And the name that has gained the most strength in the last hours is that of Gabriel Martinelli. The Arsenal forward emerges as the preferred alternative in case the signing of Luis Díaz, the club's initial priority, does not materialize.
The Riyadh team, still relying on Cristiano Ronaldo as its main offensive reference, seeks to add a player with dribbling skills, goal-scoring ability, and ability to create imbalance on the wing. Martinelli, a 24-year-old Brazilian international, fits that profile and has caught the attention of the team led by Luis Castro. Although his performance in the last season with the Gunners was inconsistent—scoring ten goals and providing six assists in 51 matches—his quality and potential continue to attract interest from various market fronts.
Al Nassr wants to sign Gabriel Martinelli
Arsenal, on the other hand, has not shown any signs of wanting to part ways with the winger who emerged from Ituano. In fact, the London club has reportedly started discussions to review his contract and secure his continuity. However, Al Nassr believes that a significant economic proposal could persuade the leaders at the Emirates Stadium to change their minds.
Martinelli's potential arrival in Saudi Arabia is also linked to Sadio Mané's uncertain future at the club. The Saudi leadership wants to ensure a reliable offensive line that complements Cristiano Ronaldo and keeps the team in contention for all domestic and international titles. Currently, negotiations are ongoing, but the interest is strong, and Al Nassr is preparing an ambitious offensive to convince Arsenal.
