Martinelli departs, Monaco battle for Nibombé

In the dim training hall of Al‑Hilal the rumor is heard of a new Brazilian who has just swapped his Arsenal shirt, while in the Jupiler Pro League KV Kortrijk is already continuing negotiations with AS Monaco over defender Samuel Nibombé.

Martinelli departs for Al‑Hilal

According to Fabrizio Romano, Gabriel Martinelli has officially left Arsenal and signed a four‑year contract with Al‑Hilal. The 25‑year‑old Brazilian, who joined the Gunners in the summer of 2019, thereby closes a chapter that includes, among other things, a Premier League title.

The Brazilian signed the contract for a package estimated at around seventy million euros, according to Romano. He will, according to the club, already hold his first training session under the new colours on Thursday evening.

Monaco seeks defender Nibombé

In the Challenger Pro League KV Kortrijk is very interested in Samuel Nibombé, a defender who received his youth training at Mons, Anderlecht and Charleroi before moving in the summer of 2023 to the youth academy of AS Monaco.

The Kerels want Nibombé back in the Pro League and, according to transfer specialist Sacha Tavolieri, are already in advanced talks with Monaco. A possible return to Belgium would give the defender a new starting point after his departure to Monaco.

Other rumours in the Pro League

All transfer rumours, all official confirmations have been compiled into a single article, according to the source. RFC Seraing, for example, has said goodbye to its 21‑year‑old striker Harrison Ondo‑Eyi, who came from Union Saint‑Gilloise in the summer of 2025.

Ousseynou Niang has officially left Union Saint‑Gilloise and signs a two‑year contract with Zulte Waregem, with two option years. In addition, Sporting Charleroi has taken the young Japanese striker Gaku Nawata on loan until the end of the season, with a purchase option.

The market closes in a few hours, so it remains to be seen whether the deal concerning Nibombé will be finalised. All rumours are thus presented live, offering a complete overview of the transfer news in the Jupiler Pro League, the Challenger Pro League and with the Red Devils.
