Report: PSG eyeing surprise move for Arsenal forward PSG Eye Martinelli in £50 Million Move Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are planning a painful double over Arsenal in the coming weeks, with Sports Bloom revealing their strategy to defend their Champions League title in Budapest while ramping up their pursuit of Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli.

The Brazilian’s contract at the Emirates expires next summer, but there is no option for a further year, leaving Arsenal in a precarious position as they face a decision about whether to cash in on Martinelli this summer. Arteta’s Options and the Search for Alternatives Mikel Arteta is understood to be open to letting Martinelli leave, as he looks to further strengthen Arsenal’s attacking options. This move comes amid Arsenal’s efforts to reshape their squad for next season.

Arteta’s pursuit of fresh talent has already seen the club identify potential replacements for the 24-year-old. Como’s rising star, Jesús Rodríguez, is reportedly high on Arsenal’s list, with the young talent considered one of Europe’s brightest emerging attacking prospects.

Meanwhile, Martinelli would likely slot into PSG’s squad as a successor to Bradley Barcola, with the French winger continuing to attract strong interest from Manchester City. Martinelli’s Declining Form at Arsenal Martinelli’s time at Arsenal has been marked by significant achievements, but his form has been less than stellar this season. After bagging 15 Premier League goals in the 2022/23 campaign, Martinelli has struggled to make a similar impact this term.
