Al-Nassr launch staggering £85m bid for Arsenal player Martinelli

Saudi Arabia is again poised to be a major player in the transfer market. Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo's club, are looking to lure Gabriel Martinelli with a lucrative offer.

'The Athletic' reports that the Saudi Arabian side have tabled a staggering €85 million bid for the Arsenal's Brazilian winger, an exorbitant price considering his performance.

Furthermore, Al-Nassr would triple Martinelli's current salary, placing him at nearly €20 million per year, a significant wage that might tempt the player to leave Europe this summer.

However, the fact that the national team World Cup is at the end of the 2025-26 season may lead Martinelli, who is not guaranteed a place in the Brazil squad, to prefer staying put.

All this comes in a summer where his compatriot Rodrygo could end up at the Emirates, potentially taking his place. The Real Madrid player is one of the options Arsenal are considering to strengthen the left wing.
