Brazilian national team striker Gabriel Martinelli surprises and could swap Arsenal for PSG

Brazilian international Gabriel Martinelli could be on his way out of Arsenal, with Paris Saint-Germain reigniting interest in the winger ahead of the next transfer window.
PSG renews interest in Martinelli
According to Transfer Feed, PSG has once again placed Martinelli on its radar as the French giants look to strengthen their attacking options. The 24-year-old forward, who started in Brazil’s 3-0 win over Chile, is under contract with Arsenal until 2027.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is reportedly open to a sale if the offer benefits both the player and the club.
Martinelli’s growing transfer market value
Martinelli has long attracted interest from abroad. During the last window, he was a target for Saudi Arabian clubs. More recently, Bayern Munich considered a move before ultimately opting for Luis Díaz, effectively cooling their pursuit.
Now, PSG—still seeking another impactful forward after failing to land Rodrygo from Real Madrid—appears ready to test Arsenal’s resolve with a fresh approach.
Arsenal already eyeing a Brazilian replacement
If Martinelli does leave, Arsenal could look back to Brazil for his successor. Reports in England suggest the Gunners are monitoring Luiz Benedetti, a promising young defender from Palmeiras, as part of their long-term recruitment strategy.
