Al-Sadd expresses interest in Arsenal's Gabriel Martinelli

Al-Sadd SC of the Qatar Stars League has shown interest in signing Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli. However, the likelihood of a transfer seems low after Martinelli recently turned down a move to Galatasaray, which had offered €45m. Arsenal has set a valuation of over €50m for the player. Martinelli's aspirations appear to complicate any potential bid from Al-Sadd, especially following his decision not to join one of Turkey's largest clubs. Martinelli was absent from Arsenal’s matchday squad for the Community Shield, with speculation surrounding other potential moves for him, including links to Napoli, though no concrete negotiations are reported on that front.
