Arsenal Receives Record Bid, Arteta Undecided

Galatasaray has reportedly tabled a substantial offer exceeding £38 million for Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli, according to Sky Germany. The Gunners are currently reviewing the bid and have yet to respond to their Istanbul counterparts. Should the deal materialize, it would mark a record sale in Arsenal's history. The current top sales include Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who moved to Liverpool for €38 million, and Nicolas Anelka, who joined Real Madrid for €35 million.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has not yet made a final decision regarding Gabriel Martinelli's future, having already offloaded one winger this summer by sending Leandro Trossard to Besiktas. Christos Tzolis was brought in from Belgium as a replacement, but a potential departure for the Brazilian international would necessitate the search for another wide player. A final decision is expected in the coming days, with just over two weeks remaining in the transfer window. Roma has also shown interest in Martinelli, but the Italian club has yet to submit an official offer to either the player or Arsenal.
