Barcelona is preparing to make an approach for Arsenal star

Gabriel Martinelli could reportedly leave Arsenal at the end of the season, with Barcelona already monitoring the Brazilian attacker as the Spanish club plans potential changes to its squad ahead of the next campaign.

Martinelli has been one of Arsenal’s most influential players in recent seasons and has consistently contributed important performances under Mikel Arteta. His pace, direct running and attacking energy have made him a key figure for the Gunners during their rise back towards the top of English and European football.

Arsenal considering Martinelli future

Despite his importance to the squad, Martinelli has not matched the productivity levels he achieved during some of his strongest seasons at the Emirates. That decline has reportedly led Arsenal to consider the possibility of allowing him to leave if a suitable offer arrives during the summer transfer window.

The Brazilian remains focused on finishing the campaign strongly as Arsenal continue competing for major honours, including the Premier League and Champions League. Winning those trophies would represent a significant achievement for the club and could influence decisions regarding several players once the season concludes.

Martinelli is understood to be happy at Arsenal and would reportedly prefer to remain at the club. However, there is growing speculation that a major offer from one of Europe’s elite sides could eventually lead to discussions about his long-term future.
