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.

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.",
