Press reports have revealed that the English club Arsenal has set the required fee to part ways with their Brazilian winger Gabriel Martinelli, amidst interest from the Spanish club Barcelona in signing him during the upcoming transfer window. This interest is based on the desire of the German coach Hans Flick to strengthen the attacking line.

Martinelli's contract with Arsenal extends until 2027, while the club's management is considering selling some players to fund new signings and reorganize certain positions within the team.

The asking price for selling the player is estimated at around 45 million, approximately 39 million pounds sterling, which is the figure Arsenal's management sets as a basis for negotiation in the event of receiving an official offer.

The 24-year-old player is admired by Barcelona's coaching staff due to his speed and ability to play in multiple attacking positions, in addition to his defensive commitment that aligns with the high-pressing style adopted by the team.

During the current season, Martinelli has participated in 35 official matches for Arsenal, scoring 11 goals and assisting 3 goals. Meanwhile, Barcelona continues to study the financial and technical aspects of the deal before taking any official steps, with a focus on maintaining the club's economic balance.
