Gabriel Martinelli to join Al Hilal in record Arsenal sale

Gabriel Martinelli Arsenal Al Hilal Saudi Pro League transfer record

Arsenal has reached an agreement to sell Brazilian forward Gabriel Martinelli to the Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal in a record-breaking deal. The transfer fee is reported to be between €65 million and €70 million, making it the most lucrative sale in Arsenal's history.

Martinelli, 25, is expected to sign a four-year contract with Al Hilal. The move follows a period where the player had fallen out of immediate selection plans under Mikel Arteta. The Saudi club is aggressively strengthening its squad, also reportedly finalizing the signing of Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins for approximately €60 million.

This significant expenditure by Al Hilal highlights the ongoing financial influence of the Saudi Pro League in attracting high-profile talent from the Premier League.
