Al Hilal in talks to sign Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli

Al Hilal are in talks with Arsenal and Gabriel Martinelli over a potential transfer, with no agreement in place as of Sunday. Discussions are taking place with the London club and the player’s camp over the framework of a deal.

David Ornstein carried the story first, reporting that Arsenal are seeking a fee in the region of £60 million and that the 25-year-old Brazil international is open to the possibility of joining Al Hilal after previously turning down interest from Turkey.

The situation amounts to an active negotiation rather than a completed move. Talks between the clubs and with Martinelli’s side suggest Al Hilal are working on both the transfer fee and personal terms in parallel, but a breakthrough would still require agreement on each front.

Martinelli is described as a winger and, at 25, fits the profile Al Hilal have frequently targeted. The report adds that Arsenal’s price point is set, indicating there may be limited room for compromise unless the Saudi Pro League club decide to meet the valuation or structure a package that satisfies the Premier League side.

For Arsenal, the outcome could influence their plans late in the window, but there is no indication yet of a timeline for resolution. The same reporting underlines that nothing is signed, and any transfer would depend on the clubs settling a fee and the player finalising terms.

Further details such as contract length or add-ons were not specified. The situation remains fluid while negotiations continue.
