Martinelli rejects Galatasaray! Yellow-Reds receive answer to their 45 million euro offer
Galatasaray's 45 million euro transfer offer for Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli received a negative response from the Brazilian player.
Galatasaray encountered an unexpected development regarding Gabriel Martinelli, a key name on their transfer agenda ahead of the new season. The Yellow-Red management had submitted an official offer of 45 million euros to the English club for the Brazilian winger playing for Arsenal.
The fact that Dursun Özbek's management acted quite decisively on this transfer and closely followed the process had also been reported in the English press. However, according to information conveyed by The Athletic, Martinelli officially informed the club that he does not want to transfer to Galatasaray.
According to claims, Galatasaray had committed this amount for Martinelli as an alternative to Rafael Leao from Milan. Although it was stated that the Arsenal side was open to selling the player, who is entering the final season of his contract, Martinelli's reluctance to leave posed a serious obstacle to the transfer.
After this decision by Martinelli, who has recorded 62 goals and 36 assists in 278 matches for Arsenal, it is stated that Galatasaray will turn to a search for a new winger transfer. It has become a matter of curiosity how the Yellow-Reds will proceed with their transfer plans following this development.
