According to football.london, Galatasaray is interested in Arsenal's Martinelli and Nwaneri, with Berta being closely connected to George Gardi, who is driving these two negotiations.

In April, Andrea Berta and chief scout Maurizio Micheli traveled to Istanbul's RAMS Park Stadium to watch Galatasaray defeat Fenerbahce 3-0.

This clearly demonstrated their connections in this area. It was soon confirmed that the two were invited by Italian football agent George Gardi.

Gardi has deep ties with Galatasaray. He was deeply involved in facilitating numerous deals, including those for Osimhen and Hakan Çalhanoğlu, and was also acquainted with two high-ranking Arsenal officials during their previous tenures.

Now, Gardi is directly in contact with Berta, pushing for the Martinelli deal. The winger has one year left on his contract, and the Premier League champions also have an option to extend for another year.

The Turkish champions are intensifying their interest in the Brazilian winger, having already offered approximately £38.5 million. However, the specific structure of this offer is not yet clear, as Galatasaray had originally intended to sign AC Milan's Rafael Leão on loan first.

If the price is right, Arsenal is willing to discuss and consider selling Martinelli this summer, provided they can find a top-tier replacement.

However, in the conversations between Berta and Gardi, another player was also put on the table. The future of young attacking midfielder Nwaneri at the Emirates Stadium still has some uncertainty.

He has attracted many suitors in England and abroad, and Arteta believes his value has increased since he returned from a poor six-month loan spell at Marseille, due to his excellent performance in pre-season.

Arteta said after the 1-1 draw with Como in a friendly on Wednesday night: "Nwaneri is in very good form. Perhaps his on-field experience during his loan spell at Marseille wasn't what was expected, and there was a lot of noise and changes around him.

"But he looks completely different now, more mature. It's truly incredible what a difference just six months and a different experience abroad can make. Living alone in a foreign country, going through difficult times, and experiencing these things firsthand is part of football, and you have to be capable enough to handle it. I am very satisfied with Nwaneri's performance in pre-season."

Arsenal is willing to listen to offers, and Berta's close relationship with Gardi also means Galatasaray has direct access to both players. It appears Galatasaray hopes to sign at least one of Martinelli or Nwaneri, and they seem to have ample funds. While Arteta still highly regards Nwaneri, he could potentially be let go if there is a suitable replacement. In contrast, Martinelli's situation is more complex because selling him would significantly weaken the team's depth on the left wing.
