Arsenal invite offers for Martinelli and Nwaneri

Arsenal have opened negotiations with Galatasaray for the potential sale of several squad members in the current transfer window. Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri are among the players the London club is reportedly inviting offers for. Brazil forward Martinelli has received a verbal offer worth €45m (£38.5m), although there appears to be some hesitation from the 25-year-old regarding a move to Turkey. Discussions between Arsenal and Galatasaray have reportedly touched on Osimhen's future as well.

Meanwhile, Arsenal is also exploring a deal for Aston Villa winger Konsa Guimaraes, with the Englishman's debut confirmed in a draw against Como. Earlier in the month, BBC Sport reported that Nwaneri, a 19-year-old English international, was among the players the Gunners would consider offers for. Across Europe, interest in the young winger includes AC Milan, Fulham, Red Bull Leipzig, and Borussia Dortmund.

Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, and his assistant Maurizio Michele are focused on selling players this summer, leveraging their connections in Turkey to facilitate the deals. So far, the club has agreed to a combined fee of around £45m for the sales of Trossard, Kiwior, Christian Norgaard, and Karl Hein. In addition to these sales, Arsenal remains in talks with West Ham over the transfer of winger Reiss Nelson, which could generate about £3m if the deal materializes permanently.

Brazil striker Gabriel Jesus, Portugal midfielder Fabio Vieira, and midfielder Martin Zubimendi are also set to leave the club, with Zubimendi drawing interest from Spanish clubs.
