Al-Hilal Martinelli Fee Set to Be Higher than Expected

The deal would give Arsenal about £70 million upfront, while personal terms and a possible sell-on clause are still being worked out.

  • David Ornstein reported on Sunday that Arsenal are finalizing a £60m fixed-fee deal to sell forward Gabriel Martinelli to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, with no add-ons involved.
  • Manager Mikel Arteta has sidelined the 25-year-old winger recently, omitting Martinelli from matchday squads against Manchester City and Coventry City. After seven years with the Gunners, he has been a key player.
  • James Benge reported on Sunday that Arsenal are negotiating a sell-on clause for future financial gains, following earlier reports suggesting a £66m package including £8m in add-ons.
  • Elsewhere, Arsenal is also closing in on selling forward Gabriel Jesus to Barcelona for £8.6m, while Hamburg remains in advanced talks for Portuguese creator Fabio Vieira. Both deals must conclude before Tuesday's deadline.
  • As the summer transfer window slams shut on Tuesday, Arsenal has also bolstered its squad by signing 20-year-old former Manchester United defender Habeeb Ogunneye to the Under-21 team.
