Arsenal put Trossard, Martinelli and Nwaneri up for sale this summer

Arsenal have made Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri available for transfer this summer, according to The Telegraph.

Arsenal put three players up for sale including Trossard

The Gunners ended their long wait for the Premier League title last month, but fell short in the Champions League final.

Mikel Arteta’s side showed tremendous defensive resolve against Paris Saint-Germain, only to lose the European crown on penalties.

Now, Arsenal prepare for another summer spending spree. Sporting director Andrea Berta must first demonstrate his selling power to fund new arrivals.

The Telegraph reports that ‘the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard and Ethan Nwaneri will be available’.

Trossard’s departure comes as little shock. The Belgian signed an improved contract last summer, but Arsenal decided against extending his deal beyond June 2027. The £27 million signing now looks likely to move on.

Martinelli’s future also hangs in the balance. The Brazilian winger has a contract until next year, with a 12-month club option. Arsenal may offload him if they cannot agree a renewal.

Nwaneri represents pure profit for the club. As a homegrown academy graduate, a sale worth around £40 million would go straight into Arsenal’s transfer budget.

The Gunners spent over £250 million on eight signings last summer, including Piero Hincapie on loan from Bayer Leverkusen.

The defender impressed in his debut campaign, and Arsenal look poised to make his move permanent for £45 million.

To repeat such spending without breaking financial rules, Arsenal need player sales to free up squad space, funds and wage bill capacity.

Gabriel Jesus also attracts interest from multiple clubs and could leave for £20 million as he enters the final year of his contract.

Right-back Ben White may depart too, especially if Arsenal secure Newcastle’s Tino Livramento.

The Telegraph adds that Martin Odegaard’s exit would prove unpopular with Arteta, despite the captain’s injury-plagued season.
