“Arsenal” mövsümün sonunda iki əsas futbolçusu ilə vidalaş bilər.
Futbolpress.az xəbər verir ki, bu barədə “The Telegraph” nəşri məlumat yayıb.
London təmsilçisinin yarımmüdafiəçisi Martin Edeqor və hücumçu Qabriel Martinelli Avropanın bir neçə klubunun diqqət mərkəzindədir. “Arsenal” yaxşı təklif olacağı halda, hər iki oyunçunu satmağa razıdır.
Edeqor və Martinelli hazırda komandanın əsas oyunçularındandır.
I’m aware there has been a report doing the rounds about Arsenal needing to make a major sale this summer, and I’ve just finished some calls to my sources close to the agents industry.
As first reported in my exclusive here for the Daily Briefing, I can confirm that there is a very realistic prospect of Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli leaving this summer, provided the price is right. I’ve also already reported on doubts about Ben White’s future here.

From what I’m hearing, however, it’s not likely that Ethan Nwaneri or Myles Lewis-Skelly will be leaving. Things could change, of course, but the people I spoke to were not aware of that as a concrete possibility. Nwaneri’s loan move was intended to provide the young midfielder with experience rather than putting him in the shop window, and both he and Lewis-Skelly only recently signed new long-term contracts.
What’s important to note about Odegaard’s situation is that he is not pushing for a move and Arsenal will only sell if the price is right.
The situation should become clearer soon, but there is understandable interest in the Norway international, whose asking price could be as high as €100m. After an injury-hit season and a slight loss of form, however, sources expect clubs to try negotiating for less than that. That’s where the uncertainty lies, and where other players’ futures can also be significant.
Martinelli, by contrast, is likely to be available for more like €65m. As things stand, he looks more likely to leave, and it’s possible that if, for example, White were also to move on, that would be enough to balance the books sufficiently so that Odegaard’s exit was not also required.
One source told me: “Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid will be interested in Odegaard’s situation. A lot would depend on the structure of the deal, but expect them to be there.”
This has been confirmed by other sources as well, with no mention yet of Premier League clubs. Arsenal, in any case, would certainly prioritise a sale abroad.
With Martinelli, Barca and Atletico have again been mentioned by multiple sources. Much will depend on what happens with Marcus Rashford, who is on loan at the Nou Camp and likely to join permanently, albeit without a full agreement in place yet.

It’s reported that discussions are taking place over a major Arsenal sale this summer, with five names emerging as realistic candidates.

The Gunners spent big on new signings last summer, bringing in Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze, Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Christian Norgaard, Cristhian Mosquera, Piero Hincapie, and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
It’s therefore not too surprising to learn that Arsenal are now under pressure to balance the books with a significant sale, as reported by the Telegraph.
The Telegraph’s report has mentioned five main candidates to be sold if Arsenal do go ahead with a big sale, and they are as follows…
This would be a big call, but Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard is mentioned as one possibility. The Norway international has not played as big a role in Mikel Arteta’s side this season due to a combination of injuries and a slight loss of form and overall impact on games. There are surely still many fans who’d be concerned about letting Odegaard go, but it also makes sense that he’s being considered due to the fact that he’d probably also have the biggest price tag.
A fine player on his day, but Gabriel Martinelli’s name emerging on this list also has some logic to it after another inconsistent campaign. The Brazil international’s baffling form can probably be best summed up by the fact that he has six goals in seven Champions League games this season, but has scored only once in 24 Premier League matches. Despite looking so impressive as a youngster, it would probably be fair to say Martinelli hasn’t fulfilled his potential and it could be time for Arsenal to try bringing in an upgrade.
Perhaps not quite the same player after injury issues kept him out for much of last season, Ben White is also reported by the Telegraph as someone who could be a strong candidate to leave the Emirates Stadium this summer. Limited to just five Premier League starts this season, White is now very clearly behind Jurrien Timber in the pecking order, and we’ve recently reported on clubs in Europe showing an interest in the 28-year-old ahead of this summer.
Currently out on loan at Marseille, Ethan Nwaneri is another name on the Telegraph’s list as he’s struggled to play as often this season and would also have that added benefit of ‘pure profit’ from a PSR perspective, due to coming up through Arsenal’s academy. The 18-year-old surely still has it in him to make it at Arsenal, but it perhaps also makes sense that they would have to consider accepting big offers for him.
Similarly, Myles Lewis-Skelly’s future also seems to be in doubt and he’d be another tempting sale due to PSR. Despite being one of the most exciting breakthrough stars in the Premier League last season, the England international has really struggled for playing time this term after a strong start from Hincapie at left-back.

Arsenal’s summer transfer plans could take an unexpected turn, with reports suggesting the club are pushing hard to sign Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon.
According to a source on X, negotiations are progressing rapidly, but Newcastle have reportedly responded with a bold counter-demand, insisting that Gabriel Martinelli be included in any potential deal.
Both Gordon and Martinelli are among the Premier League’s most dynamic wide attackers, and a swap involving the two would represent a significant shift for both clubs.
With Mikel Arteta looking to strengthen his attack in the summer, Gordon has emerged a player that the Gunners are targeting due to his versatility to play in a number of different positions and his high potential.
Gordon has developed into a key player at Newcastle since his move from Everton.
He is a player who can play on both the wings, as well as up front to lead the attack.
Gordon’s work rate and ability to attack space could complement Arsenal’s fluid attacking structure, which often relies on wide players to create overloads and isolate defenders.
With Arsenal looking to add depth and unpredictability to their attack, Gordon could be the ideal player for their fluid attack.
Newcastle, however, are not believed to be eager sellers. Backed by ambitious ownership and with long-term goals of establishing themselves among Europe’s elite, the club are reluctant to weaken their squad without a significant return.
Newcastle would consider negotiations only if Martinelli were included in the deal.
The Brazilian winger has been one of Arsenal’s best performers in recent seasons, combining explosive pace with intelligent movement and a strong goal threat from wide areas.
The claim that Newcastle would be willing to make Martinelli their highest-paid player highlights how highly they reportedly value the 24-year-old.
His age, Premier League experience, and attacking output make him an attractive long-term option for any ambitious club.
