Bayern Munich add Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli to transfer target list | OneFootball

Christian Falk reports that Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich have added Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli to their list of summer transfer targets. Incoming transfer rumors relating to the German giants continue to come thick and fast. FCB chief personnel officer Max Eberl and staff are clearly working overtime at the Säbener Straße headquarters.

Arsenal’s 18-times-capped Brazilian international fits the profile of what Bayern seek during the current summer transfer window. Namely, a winger with a proven performance record and a price tag in the €50m-€70m range. Martinelli maintains a current €55m estimated market value.

Bayern require assistance on both flanks ahead of the new Bundesliga campaign, but seem to be prioritizing players with leftward proclivities first. The Martinelli rumors make sense in the context of this need.

Thanks to their early qualification for the Round-of-16 in the ongoing club World Cup, Bayern have already earned the equivalent of €39.5 million in the new mega-format tournament.

It is such that one expects the German record champions to seal some blockbuster summer signings in the coming days.
