It has been alleged that Galatasaray, continuing their transfer efforts to strengthen their attacking line ahead of the new season, did not get the result they expected in their Gabriel Martinelli plan.
According to a report by The Athletic, the Brazilian left-winger playing for Arsenal has informed the yellow-red club that he does not want to transfer to Galatasaray. Following this development, Galatasaray is expected to turn to other alternatives on their list for the same position.
It had been claimed that Galatasaray submitted an official offer of 45 million euros to Arsenal for Martinelli. However, the negative response reportedly coming from the player's side has made the possibility of a transfer difficult.
Martinelli, who played 53 matches for Arsenal last season, recorded a performance of 11 goals and 7 assists. The 25-year-old player, who has reached 68 goals and 38 assists in 296 matches across all competitions in his career, has a contract with the English club that runs until 2027.
Martinelli transferred to Arsenal from the Brazilian team Ituano in 2019 for a transfer fee of 7.1 million euros.
