Napoli is the latest club interested in Arsenal man

Napoli have added another Arsenal attacker to their shopping list after becoming the latest club to show interest in Gabriel Martinelli during this transfer window.

Martinelli is set to leave the Emirates, which explains why he was left out of Arsenal’s squad for their game against Manchester City, with the club preparing for life without him. He has been an important player for much of Mikel Arteta’s time at the club and is one of the longest-serving members of the Arsenal squad.

Martinelli Looks for a New Club

Martinelli can still provide value for another top club, and he recently turned down a move to Galatasaray in Turkiye, believing he is too young to make the move. The attacker will now do his best to find another club before the transfer window closes.

Napoli are the latest side to show interest in the Brazilian, and the Italian club could offer him an opportunity to secure regular playing time. Martinelli’s future has become increasingly uncertain at Arsenal, particularly with competition for places in attack.

The attacker has established himself as an important member of Arsenal’s squad during Arteta’s time at the club. However, if he is no longer part of the manager’s plans, a move could allow him to continue his career elsewhere and play a more regular role.

Napoli Show Interest in Martinelli

The Sun says Napoli want to rescue Martinelli from potentially not playing many matches this season, despite their interest in Gabriel Jesus. The report suggests that the Brazilian could struggle for regular opportunities if he remains at Arsenal.

The way Christos Tzolis has performed since he joined means Martinelli could spend a significant amount of time on the bench if he stays at Arsenal. His entourage reportedly wants to avoid that situation, so they have been in talks with Napoli over a move to Italy, according to the report.

Martinelli’s next destination remains uncertain, but Napoli’s interest could provide him with another option. After turning down Galatasaray, the Brazilian will now hope to find a club where he can continue playing regularly and demonstrate his quality.
