Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing a major offer for Gabriel Martinelli, as the Bundesliga giants eye a summer arrival to bolster their attack.

According to The Sun citing “BILD reporter Christian Falk”, Bayern have placed Martinelli on a shortlist that also includes Liverpool’s Luis Diaz and Cody Gakpo, Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams, and Dortmund’s Jamie Gittens. The report suggests Arsenal are open to selling the Brazilian winger, currently under contract until 2027, with a valuation of over £50 million.

Since joining from Ituano in 2019, Martinelli has made 225 appearances for Arsenal, scoring 51 goals and providing 29 assists. He consistently features in Mikel Arteta’s plans, though with the club looking to trim its wage bill, the 24-year-old could become a prime candidate to move.

Sources at Bayern describe Martinelli as a “star forward” who ticks all the boxes for their attacking rebuild. While no official bid has been made, the German club is reportedly bringing the transfer offer together this summer.

Gabriel Martinelli’s strong form and market value have thrust him into the transfer spotlight, with Bayern Munich emerging as serious suitors. If Arsenal choose to cash in, this summer could bring a high-stakes move that reshapes both clubs’ attacking dynamics.

Recent Transfer News:

  • Arsenal are considering offers for Martinelli as part of a broader summer shake-up that could also involve Zinchenko and Fabio Vieira
  • Bayern continue to chase Nico Williams, but Martinelli could emerge as a viable alternative, particularly if Williams moves to Barcelona.
  • Arsenal are targeting replacements like Rafael Leão or Jamie Gittens, though wage concerns for standout names such as Benjamin Sesko remain a hurdle.
