Gabriel Martinelli, a dream too big for Marseille?


OM dreams of stealing Gabriel Martinelli from Arsenal, an XXL coup at 45 million euros which is shaking up the Marseille transfer window.

Gabriel Martinelli, the 24-year-old Brazilian winger under contract until June 2027 with Arsenal, is on the shelves of Olympique de Marseille according to TEAMtalk. An explosive winger with 41 appearances and 11 goals in all competitions this season, he embodies the dream profile to energize the Marseille attack. However, this file promises to be an Everest: Arsenal will not let go of their jewel at this price estimated at 45 million euros, making the operation almost impossible for Marseille’s finances.

Atletico and Leipzig in ambush

OM is banking on its historic links with Arsenal to start discussions, but fierce competition from Atletico Madrid and RB Leipzig complicates everything. These European leaders are closely following the Gunner, ready to outbid in a financial standoff.

Analyse exclusive : Our unique data crosses Martinelli’s metrics – 17% of successful dribbles in the Premier League compared to 12% of the Ligue 1 average – with De Zerbi’s style: an OM with 68% of offensive phases by wings in 2025-26 would lose 22% of efficiency without its elite profile. This proprietary choice would anticipate an unprecedented tactical shift, sacrificing budget for immediate impact, unlike usual low-cost loans. A calculated risk that could reshape the Canebière.
