Transfer: Flick speaks on Barcelona signing new striker as Arsenal receive offer for Martinelli

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has stated he will discuss the possibility of signing a new striker with the club's sporting director, Deco, during the current week. This comes after Barcelona's impressive 5-0 victory over Elche in LaLiga on Sunday. Flick's comments were made following the match, as reported by Fabrizio Romano: "I will speak to Deco, and we will see. Let's see what happens this week."

In other transfer news, Al Hilal has put forward a €55 million offer for Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli. According to The Times' Gary Jacob, the Saudi Arabian club is eager to persuade Arsenal to sell the 25-year-old before the transfer window concludes. However, Arsenal has not yet accepted the bid, which is reportedly below their desired £60 million asking price for Martinelli.

Martinelli had previously been linked with Galatasaray earlier in the summer, but it seems Arsenal may be open to letting the Brazilian player leave this season.
