According to recent reports, Al Nassr's transfers are controlled by Cristiano Ronaldo, and Martinelli is at the top of their shopping list. This comes after Liverpool rejected offers from other clubs for their player Luis Diaz. Al Nassr wants to sign a left-winger, striker, and holding midfielder before the transfer window closes.
Arsenal has not received any contact from Al Nassr regarding Martinelli, and the team is reluctant to sell him. The 24-year-old Brazilian international has been a key player for the Gunners since joining the team in 2019, scoring 51 goals in 225 games. If Al Nassr were to sign Martinelli, it would be a huge loss for Arsenal, even if the club receives a significant fee.
The transfer would also break Arsenal's record for a sale, which currently stands at £35 million. This amount was paid by Liverpool when they signed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in 2017. Al Nassr's goal is to build a strong team that can help Cristiano Ronaldo win silverware at the club.
Signing Martinelli would be a significant step in achieving this goal. The player's skills and experience would be a valuable addition to Al Nassr's team, and it would be interesting to see how the transfer negotiations unfold.
