Martinelli-Napoli hopes dim as BBC cites Saudi €45 million offer

Gabriel Martinelli’s prospective move from Arsenal to Napoli has effectively stalled, with the BBC reporting that a Saudi Arabian club is prepared to bid more than €45 million for the Brazilian forward. The offer, said to exceed the €45 million Galatasaray previously paid, appears to have eclipsed Napoli’s interest.

Ultime notizie calcio mercato Napoli – Il grande sogno di questa sessione di mercato per il club è stato Gabriel Martinelli, ma i costi ritenuti troppo elevati hanno spinto gli azzurri a abbandonare la pista Martinelli‑Napoli. La pista Martinelli‑Napoli è stata descritta come praticamente sfumata nella stampa A&minus A+.

The BBC’s Sami Mokbel tweeted that Arsenal have opened talks with Al‑Hilal for the sale of Gabriel Martinelli and that a Saudi club, referred to as Arabia Saudita, is willing to pay over €45 million, surpassing the amount Galatasaray spent. This development suggests a possible future move to Saudi Arabia rather than to Napoli.
