PSG in Talks for Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli
In a surprising turn of events, Paris Saint-Germain’s sporting director Luis Campos has reportedly met with agents representing Arsenal’s forward Gabriel Martinelli.
The Brazilian player has displayed inconsistent form during his time with the Gunners, despite showcasing significant promise when he emerged as a young talent at the Emirates Stadium.
According to reports from L’Equipe, translated by Get French Football News, it appears PSG is considering Martinelli as a potential target, although this may come as a shock to many.
Additionally, PSG is also rumored to be interested in RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande, who may be a stronger candidate for their needs in that specific position.
Martinelli could potentially thrive in a more attacking environment and less competitive league, making him a plausible alternative for PSG to consider.
Should Arsenal Consider Selling Martinelli?
It might be wise for Arsenal to consider parting ways with Martinelli this summer if the price is right, as they could strengthen their offensive line on the left side.
With only one goal in the Premier League this season, despite a more favorable showing in the Champions League, Martinelli’s performance has seemingly declined. This has affected Mikel Arteta’s side, making them less potent in attack.
While other players have also struggled, acquiring a top-tier forward for the left flank could enhance the overall effectiveness of the attack.
Is Martinelli a Realistic Option for PSG?
Martinelli might represent a risk for PSG, especially considering he would not come at a low cost.
As per our Transfer Fit rating, we have assigned a low score of 9 out of 25 to this potential deal, indicating probable concerns—find more details on scoring criteria here.

PSG already possesses attractive options like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Desire Doue, and Bradley Barcola on the left, all of whom currently outperform Martinelli.
This speculation lacks clarity, yet coming from a credible source, it may be worth monitoring as the situation develops. Clubs frequently evaluate numerous players and maintain backup options for their primary targets.
