According to reports coming out of France, Paris Saint-Germain is making a bold move to bring in Arsenal's talented winger, Gabriel Martinelli. The 24-year-old Brazilian has been with Arsenal for seven seasons now, having joined the club in 2019 for a whopping £6 million deal from Ituano. During his time with the Gunners, Martinelli has found the back of the net 62 times in 271 appearances.
However, he has been struggling to maintain his form in the Premier League this season, having only scored one goal so far. In light of this, PSG is looking to strengthen their attacking lineup and Martinelli seems to be high on their wishlist for the upcoming summer transfer window. According to L'Equipe, their sporting director, Luis Campos, has already held talks with Martinelli's representatives to discuss a potential move.
The report also mentions that PSG is eyeing RB Leipzig's young and highly-rated winger, Yan Diomande, who is also being pursued by Manchester United and Liverpool.

Earlier this month, the BBC reported that Arsenal is open to selling Martinelli in the summer and is also willing to listen to offers for other players like Gabriel Jesus, Ben White, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly. This news has sparked interest from several clubs, with Bayern Munich reportedly willing to pay a hefty £50 million transfer fee for Martinelli last year. However, the German giants ended up signing Liverpool's Luis Diaz for an even higher fee of £65.5 million.
Despite all the transfer talk, Martinelli still has one year left on his contract with Arsenal, with the option to extend for another 12 months. It remains to be seen if he will stay at the club or make a move to PSG or any other interested team. What do you think about this potential transfer?
