Arsenal have set their asking prices for Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus, with both players potentially leaving the club this month. Roma have emerged as the latest club to register an interest in winger Martinelli, who featured as a second-half substitute in Sunday's 3-2 pre-season friendly defeat to Borussia Dortmund.
Martinelli's valuation and contract situation
The Serie A outfit have opened preliminary talks with Martinelli's representatives, though his wages, on top of a transfer fee, are likely to present a significant obstacle to any deal. Martinelli has technically entered the final year of his contract at the Emirates, but Arsenal retain a 12-month extension clause that they can activate to safeguard his value.
Galatasaray are also hovering, though they have been attempting to secure a deal with AC Milan for Rafael Leao. Arsenal will not entertain selling Martinelli without first securing a quality replacement, and their £45m valuation must also be met.
Jesus attracts interest from Napoli and Besiktas
Napoli are anticipated to submit a bid for Gabriel Jesus once they resolve the situation surrounding striker Romelu Lukaku, who is attracting interest from Fenerbahce and Atlanta United. Jesus' agent, Giovanni Branchini, recently visited Napoli's training camp, though he has since clarified that he was merely calling on head coach Massimiliano Allegri.
Arsenal are seeking up to £20m for the former Manchester City striker, who is entering the final year of his current deal, though offers exceeding £15m will be given consideration too. Turkish outfit Besiktas also have Jesus on their radar as a potential alternative, should they fall short in their pursuit of Dusan Vlahovic, who is without a club following his departure from Juventus.
