Gabriel Martinelli is close to agreeing to a new contract with Arsenal according to the latest reports. The Gunners have been in discussions with the Brazilian’s representatives for some time and the player has shown eagerness to remain with the club.
Ever since telling the media ahead of the final Europa League group stage game that all he needed was a pen to sign a new Arsenal deal, Martinelli’s future seemed only a matter of time until it was resolved. However, suggestions are that the wages could see the 21-year-old earn in the region of £200,000 per week.
This makes Martinelli one of the highest-paid players at the club and close to what top earner Gabriel Jesus is on. With both Bukayo Saka and William Saliba also in contract renewal discussions, the Gunners might need to fork out similar levels of their wage bill to convince all three to stay.
