Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli has made it clear that he does not wish to join Galatasaray at the current stage of his career, according to journalist David Ornstein.
The Brazil international has been listed for sale by the Gunners, but it appears the 25-year-old has no desire to join Galatasaray after their recent transfer approach.
The Turkish champions made an offer worth £38.4 million earlier this week, and it was recently claimed that they could improve their proposal to convince the Gunners.
Martinelli's camp have now informed the Gunners that the winger won't entertain a move to Galatasaray. He has no intention of moving to Turkey at this stage of his career.
Martinelli could still depart before the transfer window closes. Juventus and AC Milan are among clubs monitoring the Brazilian, who is valued at £51.3 million by the Gunners.
Milan are unlikely to make a formal move unless Rafael Leao heads for the exit door. Galatasaray are also keen on the Portuguese, but have yet to finalise a transfer sum.
