Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta (Picture: Getty) Arsenal have received an approach for Gabriel Martinelli after completing a £75m deal for Bruno Guimaraes. After weeks of negotiations, the Premier League champions finally agreed a big-money deal to sign Guimaraes from Newcastle United. The Brazilian bolsters an Arsenal midfield which already includes the likes of Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Merino, Eberechi Eze and Myles Lewis-Skelly. Arsenal have also strengthened Arteta’s options on the wing, signing Christos Tzolis in a £34m deal from Club Brugge.

Arteta sanctioned a move for the Greek international after allowing Leandro Trossard to leave in a £15m move to Besiktas. Trossard is not the only Arsenal winger being linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium, however, with Martinelli also a possible departure. Martinelli is Arsenal’s longest-serving player having made his Gunners debut back in 2019 at the age of 18. Gabriel Martinelli could end his long spell with Arsenal (Picture: Getty) The Brazilian has been a mainstay in the team since then, making 278 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions. But Martinelli struggled to make an impact last season, only scoring one goal in 30 Premier League games, and is expected to be behind new signing Tzolis in Arteta’s pecking order. There remains a possibility that Arsenal will sell Martinelli and they have received a tempting transfer approach from Galatasaray, according to Football London. Arsenal summer signing Christos Tzolis (Picture: Getty) Turkish clubs have already made waves in the summer transfer window, with Trabzonspor securing a stunning deal for Liverpool legend Mohamed Salah. As mentioned, Besiktas have signed Arsenal title winner Trossard and Fenerbahce have held talks to sign England star Marcus Rashford from Manchester United. It is claimed Arsenal are reluctant to entertain interest in Martinelli after they fell short in their bid to sign Real Madrid icon Vinicius Junior. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYznzdrCB9W/?hl=en&img_index=1 However, Arsenal are already looking at alternative targets and could allow Martinelli to leave if they bring in another winger. For his part, Martinelli is believed to be settled in north London but aware his game-time could suffer if Arteta brings in a new winger. Former Arsenal striker Alan Smith understands why Arteta may consider selling Martinelli but disagreed with Trossard’s transfer exit. Arsenal signed Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle (Picture: Getty) ‘The only one from that list I wouldn’t want to see go is Leandro Trossard,’ Smith told Metro on behalf of BestBettingSites. ‘I think he had a great season. ‘He can score important goals and he’s a very clever player, versatile as well. He’s mainly played on the left, but he can come inside. He’s a big fan favourite as well. ‘Looking at Gabriel Martinelli, it’s been a frustrating few years for him. Ben White, yeah, again, I’m sure there’s defenders coming to the club so he might feel like it’s time to go. ‘I can see Gabriel Jesus going as well, certainly if Arsenal buy another striker which it looks like they’re trying to do. ‘I think he would be the first one that they would try and offload. But Leandro Trossard, for me, is one you wouldn’t want to let go.’ Martinelli’s countryman Jesus was linked with a return to Brazil earlier in the summer and has recently emerged as a target for Napoli. Arsenal face Manchester City in the Community Shield next weekend before their Premier League opener against newly-promoted Coventry City. For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Liverpool have been linked with Bradley Barcola, as they look to rebuild their frontline following the departure of Mohamed Salah. The post Signing Barcola would not replace Salah, says Liverpool legend Carragher appeared first on SoccerNews.
Not being an undisputed starter under Luis Enrique, Bradley Barcola seems determined to leave PSG towards the Premier League. After reaching a personal agreement with Liverpool, the English side is reportedly ready to begin negotiations over his transfer. Bradley Barcola has managed to be part of PSG’s best era, winning two consecutive UEFA Champions League titles. However, Désiré Doué has taken his starting spot in Luis Enrique’s side, so he seems determined to leave the team for the Premier League. Following this, Liverpool have reportedly reached a personal agreement with the 23-year-old star and is ready to begin negotiations with the French side. According to Ben Jacobs from talkSPORT, via X, Liverpool have Bradley Barcola as their main target and has reached a personal agreement with the player. After this, they have decided to pursue negotiations directly with PSG, which values the player at €170M. However, they consider this valuation to be far above reality. Therefore, they are closer to paying €85-100M, counting on the player’s pressure in their favor. Throughout the 2025-26 season, Barcola managed to accumulate 2,971 minutes, in which he scored 13 goals and provided 7 assists. Even though he was not usually a starter in the Champions League, he was a regular in Ligue 1, something essential for Luis Enrique. However, he has the great opportunity to become a central figure at Liverpool, replacing Mohamed Salah on the right or left wing. Bradley Barcola has a contract with Paris Saint-Germain until 2028 and has decided not to renew it. Because of this, they risk having to sell the French star for a lower value in 2027, as he would have only one year left on his contract. With this in mind, Liverpool are in prime position to negotiate his transfer for a significant fee, but much lower than the initial €170M valuation, as Barcola is pushing to be a star at the English side. Bradley Barcola of PSG attempts to shoot past David Raya of Arsenal. Bradley Barcola would be ideal solution for Liverpool’s wingers Liverpool are living through one of the most important rebuilds of the recent era. After parting ways with Arne Slot and letting Mohamed Salah leave, they have decided to give Andoni Iraola the keys to the team. Despite already signing Victor Muñoz for the left wing, they still need a world-class right winger. With this in mind, Bradley Barcola would be the preferred option to become the central figure of the attack. Without Salah on the right wing, the Reds only have Federico Chiesa as a natural profile, along with Harvey Elliott. Therefore, Barcola would arrive as an undisputed starter on the right wing, as his dribbling, change of pace, and goalscoring ability are superior to those of his teammates. In addition, he comes from winning two consecutive UEFA Champions League titles, giving the Reds a winning mentality as they go through a rebuild.
With Duran heading back to European soccer, speculation has intensified over who could partner Ronaldo next as the club prepares for the new campaign. Cristiano Ronaldo is still waiting to see who will arrive to strengthen Al-Nassr after Jhon Duran completed a season-long loan move to Benfica, but the Saudi club faces an obstacle that has slowed its plans. With Duran heading back to European soccer, speculation has intensified over who could partner Ronaldo next as the club prepares for the new campaign. The Colombia national team striker leaves after a turbulent spell in Saudi Arabia that included multiple loan moves before his latest switch to Portugal. While Al-Nassr wants to reshape its squad under Ange Postecoglou, developments behind the scenes have complicated the club’s search for reinforcements. Benfica officially signed the 22-year-old on a season-long loan, with the agreement including a reported $34 million purchase option if certain conditions are met. The move gives Duran another opportunity to establish himself in European soccer after brief spells with Fenerbahçe and Zenit St. Petersburg. Duran expressed his excitement during his presentation in Lisbon. “It is a dream to be here. Benfica is the biggest club in Portugal. I want to help the team, score goals, win titles and repay the confidence the club has shown in me,” he said. 🎙️ As primeiras palavras de Jhon Durán de vermelho e branco! pic.twitter.com/wwriuy9oiq— SL Benfica (@SLBenfica) July 20, 2026 The transfer marks the seventh club of the player’s professional career, a remarkable journey for a player who is still only 22. Since making his senior debut with Envigado in 2019, he has represented clubs in Colombia, the United States, England, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Russia and now Portugal. The issue delaying Al-Nassr’s transfer plans As Duran departs, Al-Nassr has yet to announce a direct replacement, and reports suggest there is a significant reason behind the inactivity. According to multiple reports, including Saudi outlet Al-Riyadiyah, Al-Nassr is having a serious cash flow problem since club income is less than outstanding obligations. The situation has affected transfer planning, delayed recruitment, and reportedly forced the club to slow negotiations despite identifying several transfer targets. The financial situation has also reportedly contributed to restrictions on transfer spending, leaving the club unable to complete deals until budgets receive executive approval. Even relatively modest transfers have reportedly stalled during the current window. Cristiano Ronaldo of Al Nassr lifts the Saudi Pro League Trophy Ronaldo waits for attacking reinforcements With Duran now in Portugal, Cristiano Ronaldo remains the focal point of Al-Nassr’s attack heading into the 2026-27 season. The Portuguese captain is expected to lead the frontline once again while the club continues searching for additional attacking quality. Several high-profile names have been linked with Al-Nassr over recent months. Reports have mentioned Premier League stars, such as Mohamed Salah, Bruno Fernandes, and Gabriel Martinelli, although none of those moves has progressed into a completed transfer. Some reports also suggest the club could prioritize signing another winger rather than replacing Duran with a traditional center-forward. That strategy would still leave Ronaldo as the primary goalscoring reference in the squad.
Liverpool are continuing their search for a long-term successor to Mohamed Salah and Bournemouth winger Rayan has emerged as a player of interest, according to Teamtalk. The Reds have made enquiries about the Brazilian youngster, who is understood to be a player discussed in detail with new head coach Andoni Iraola.
