According to The Guardian Football, Martinelli's departure marks the second high-profile exit from Arsenal this week, following Gabriel Jesus's move to Barcelona. The 22-year-old forward has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates, despite being part of the squad that won the Premier League title last season. The £60m fee for Martinelli surpasses the previous record received by Arsenal when they sold Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to Liverpool in 2017. The deal also includes a sell-on clause, which is understood to be part of the agreement. Martinelli joined Arsenal from Ituano in 2019 and has struggled to replicate his form from the 2022-23 season, where he scored 15 Premier League goals.
