According to Alfredo Pedullà, although there has been reported interest in Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli from various Serie A clubs, no concrete offers have emerged as of yet.
While Roma has been mentioned concerning the Brazilian winger, he has not been considered a viable option for them. Similarly, Napoli is said to have looked into him but has shown little interest in making a move to test the waters at the Emirates.

Inter has been reported by Brazilian media as a potential frontrunner for Martinelli, yet no formal proposals appear imminent. They are likely focusing on player outgoings following the recent acquisition of Curtis Jones from Liverpool, and might only act on a last-minute opportunity as the transfer deadline approaches.
Martinelli, who is valued at €45 million by Transfermarkt, is currently in the final year of his contract, which pays him £180,000 per week at Arsenal.
Falling Down the Depth Chart
Martinelli was anticipated to make a move even before the emergence of Christos Tzolis, whose stellar start to the season has positioned him as the leading contender for the left-wing role.

This situation casts further doubt on Martinelli’s future in North London. Nonetheless, if no appealing offers materialize before the transfer window closes, he may be best advised to remain at Arsenal and seize the opportunities that come his way.
There will be chances for him; in terms of defensive contributions, he remains a top choice for Mikel Arteta. Recent seasons have shown that injuries can challenge the Gunners, underscoring the need to be prepared for the demands of the season.
