Another factor that makes Arsenal easily retain Martinelli is that the player himself does not make a move to promote the departure. Contrary to the trend of many stars today often put pressure to be transferred to big stops, Martinelli has never expressed his desire to leave London. This loyalty is even more remarkable in the context of Arsenal has increased the personnel in attack with the appearance of Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke.
On personal YouTube channel, Fabrizio Romano revealed: “Gabriel Martinelli is also on the target list that Bayern targets the position of the winger. They talked to the representative of Martinelli and the exchange was quite positive. However, Martinelli felt happy at Arsenal, while the London team had no intention of accepting the price of 30–35 million euros. With Arsenal, the value of this player was much higher, because Martinelli did not develop. Bayern's pepper at the beginning of the summer transfer period, but eventually the deal stopped with financial reasons as well as Martinelli's comfort with Arsenal. ”
Martinelli still contracts with Arsenal until 2027, with an additional extension option for one year. This shows that Arsenal leadership considers him a safe and long -term investment. In the new season, the Brazilian player has only two main kicks in the Premier League. The addition of Eze and Madueke helps Arteta have more options to rotate on the wings, but Martinelli will definitely be determined to return to the starting lineup this week when Arsenal welcomes Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium, after only sitting on the reserve in a 5-0 victory over Leeds United.
