  "account": "Turkish club Galatasaray has submitted a €40m offer for Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli, according to Turkish journalist Haluk Yurekli. Martinelli is free to leave Arsenal this summer if the club receives a suitable bid, as his contract with the North London side is set to expire after the final 12 months. Arsenal is actively seeking a replacement for Martinelli, having already signed Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge in recent months. The Gunners are also exploring options for Juventus winger Kenan Yildiz, following the signing of their top target Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid on a new contract. Galatasaray aims to bolster their ranks with Martinelli, aiming to add another high-profile Premier League talent to their squad. Martinelli, who struggled for form last season despite Arsenal’s title triumph, made just 11 league starts and scored one goal. However, he contributed six goals in European competitions as Arsenal advanced to the 2026 Champions League final.",
