Arsenal is preparing for a major restructuring of its squad, with reports that it is inviting offers from Galatasaray for Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri. Andrea Berta, the Gunners' sporting director, has been tasked with ensuring that the club becomes an active seller during this transfer window, which could result in the departure of other players such as Gabriel Jesus, Reiss Nelson, and Fabio Vieira before the end of the summer.
According to information from BBC Sport, the interest in Martinelli appears to be more solid, as the Turkish giants have already made a verbal offer for the Brazilian international. On the other hand, Nwaneri's situation is more uncertain, as, while clubs are showing interest, the likelihood of the young player remaining in London is greater. Journalist Sami Mokbel mentions that Fulham is one of the clubs keeping an eye on Arsenal's talent.
The focus on Martinelli and Nwaneri may be linked to Berta's connections in Turkey, a strategy that could facilitate negotiations. Regarding Reiss Nelson, there is speculation that he could move to West Ham, although the transfer fee is relatively low, around £3 million, which may disappoint Arsenal fans.
Furthermore, the interest in Martin Zubimendi, who impressed in his first season under Mikel Arteta, raises questions about his continuity. Despite showing signs of fatigue at the end of the season after a high number of matches, the player remains a key component in Arsenal's strategy. The arrival of Bruno Guimarães could affect his position, but Arteta seems determined to maintain a competitive squad.
Zubimendi is also being linked with a transfer to Chelsea, as reported by Simon Phillips, who highlighted Xabi Alonso's interest. However, it is unlikely that Arsenal will facilitate the sale of one of their key players to a direct rival, especially considering the importance Zubimendi had last season.
As the transfer window progresses, Arsenal fans are eagerly awaiting developments. The restructuring of the squad could be a crucial step for the club, which seeks to remain competitive both nationally and internationally. The coming weeks will be decisive in determining who will stay and who will leave the Emirates Stadium.
