Al-Nassr are not pursuing a move to sign Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli with the Saudi side focused on other targets.
Martinelli has been named as a potential option for Al-Nassr, who are keen to overhaul their forward line this summer. The Saudi Pro League side have sanctioned the loan exit of Jhon Duran to Fenerbahce.
Doubt has been cast on the Martinelli’s future at Arsenal, as the Gunners seek the signing of a left-winger.
Mikel Arteta’s side hold an interest in Rodrygo, of Real Madrid, while deals for Crystal Palace midfielder Eberechi Eze and Chelsea winger Noni Maduele have been explored.
However, Al-Nassr are not looking to capitalise on that uncertainty with their focus elsewhere. Reports this week suggested Al-Nassr could table an offer of around £73m but Fabrizio Romano has reported that the speculation is ‘wide of the mark’.
Martinelli endured a frustrating 2024/25 campaign with the Brazilian criticised for inconsistent performances. He scored eight times in the Premier League.
Al-Nassr saw a bid rejected for Brighton & Hove Albion winger Kaoru Mitoma in January and have also been linked with Liverpool’s Luis Diaz.
