Arsenal raises price to sell Martinelli to Bayern

The Bavarians want to strengthen their attack, and Martinelli, with his skillful technique, speed and versatile finishing ability, is on the priority list. Bild reporter Christian Falk said the 24-year-old striker is an option that Bayern's leadership is discussing.

In addition to Martinelli, Bayern are also interested in several other notable names such as Nico Williams (Athletic Bilbao), Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo (Liverpool), and Jamie Gittens (Dortmund). Williams is said to be preparing to join Barcelona.

Signed from Ituano for just under £5m in 2019, Martinelli has made 225 appearances for Arsenal, contributing 51 goals and 29 assists. His contract runs until the summer of 2027, and Arsenal are said to only consider selling him for at least £50m.

Meanwhile, Arsenal are restructuring their squad to reduce their wage bill. According to The Times , Martinelli is likely to be among the players who could leave, along with Oleksandr Zinchenko, Reiss Nelson, Jakub Kiwior, Fabio Vieira and Albert Sambi Lokonga.

In addition, Arsenal are still looking for a key striker in this transfer window. Benjamin Sesko was once on the Gunners' radar, but recently the London team is said to be concerned about the 22-year-old striker's high salary demands.
