Arsenal set asking price to offload Gabriel Martinelli

Arsenal have set their asking price for Gabriel Martinelli following a formal approach from Turkish champions Galatasaray.

The Gunners have already landed a new left winger in Christos Tzolis and they want another marquee option before the deadline.

Leandro Trossard was sold to compensate for Tzolis' arrival and the club are now expected to part ways with Martinelli very soon.

Galatasaray recently made an offer worth €45 million for the former Ituano graduate, but the Gunners want much more for his services.

The hierarchy are holding out for at least €60m for the 25-year-old winger and may not accept anything less to sanction his departure.

Galatasaray are yet to return with an improved offer, but Arsenal remain confident that their valuation for the attacker will be met.

Roma and Juventus are also keen on the talented forward. The Gunners are prepared to play the waiting game rather than rush their decision.

Martinelli does not have a preference for any club at the moment.
