Flashscore understands Martinelli's Arsenal future uncertain as clubs await valuation

Several of Europe's top clubs have been monitoring the 24-year-old, with Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain all reported to have shown interest in recent months.

Insiders close to the matter suggest that Arsenal are increasingly resigned to Martinelli leaving if a suitable bid arrives.

Arsenal are expected to be busy in the transfer window as Mikel Arteta aims to bolster a team that is looking to build on their Premier League title triumph.

A specific area where Arsenal are keen to improve is the left flank of their forward line.

Flashscore reported on Thursday that Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers is admired by Arsenal, with the club actively exploring the possibility of bringing the England international to north London.

Any move for a high-profile attacker of that quality would naturally cast more doubt over Martinelli's role.

If a new left-sided forward were to join, Arsenal would likely need to sanction at least one departure from their current attacking options.

While Leandro Trossard has also been linked with a move away, current signs point to Martinelli as the more probable candidate to leave.

The biggest obstacle for any interested club, however, could be Arsenal's valuation.

Bayern Munich are particularly keen on Martinelli, but it is understood that interested parties currently value him at around £35 million to £40 million.

Nevertheless, Martinelli is under contract until 2027, and Arsenal also hold an option to extend his deal for a further year. That situation, combined with his pedigree, could give Arsenal some leverage in negotiations.

Despite a mixed campaign by his own high standards, Martinelli remains a proven performer at the highest level and is still regarded as one of the Premier League's most dangerous wide forwards when in form.

As a result, Arsenal are understood to have little interest in entertaining any cut-rate offers.

Martinelli's situation is set to become one of the intriguing subplots of the summer transfer window.
