FC Barcelona does not rule out making an offer to sign this Arsenal striker

The FC Barcelona is closely monitoring an important list of players with the aim of strengthening the left-wing position, which appears to be a priority for the club's sports management ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. Names like Rafael Leão (AC Milan), Luis Díaz (Liverpool), and Nico Williams (Athletic Club) have been linked to the Catalan team in their efforts to strengthen the attacking front.

A name has recently resurfaced in discussions of potential signings for FC Barcelona: Gabriel Martinelli, a 23-year-old left-winger. As reported on the website 'Fichajes.net,' the Barcelona team is interested in him, and there are rumors that they could offer around €45 million to acquire him.

It is important to note that the name of Gabriel Martinelli is not unfamiliar to FC Barcelona, as in 2018, the Guarulhos native underwent trials in the club's youth categories. At that time, the Barça coaches considered that he did not have the necessary sporting skills to be part of the team, and his incorporation was ruled out. However, over time, this decision has proved to be not the most accurate.

GABRIEL MARTINELLI'S STATISTICS IN THE 2024-25 SEASON:

• Matches 🥅: 35
• Goals ⚽: 7
• Assists 👟: 4
• Minutes played ⌚: 2,378

Arsenal could be open to selling Gabriel Martinelli

Regarding the potential link of Gabriel Martinelli with FC Barcelona, it is suggested that the club would be willing to include a player in the operation to lower the cost and make it more attractive to Arsenal. It is worth recalling that, according to recent information from the English newspaper 'The Mirror,' the 'Gunners' could be open to selling the left-winger to strengthen themselves with a 'top' center forward, such as Benjamin Šeško (RB Leipzig) or Alexander Isak (Newcastle).

It remains to be seen how this transaction for Gabriel Martinelli, whose market value is €55 million according to Transfermarkt, will unfold. Therefore, it would not be surprising if Arsenal is asking for a higher amount for him, considering that despite facing physical setbacks last season and this, it is known that at his best, he can be an interesting and versatile left-winger who can play on both sides.

He stands out for his goal-scoring ability, skill in one-on-one situations, and his tendency to be an indomitable dribbler, being bold and fast. Likewise, he has good associative abilities, qualities that FC Barcelona seeks in their wingers.
