By Nathan RidleyBayern Munich are weighing up a move for £50million-rated Arsenal star Gabriel Martinelli. German giants Bayern recently missed out on top target Florian Wirtz, who joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen this week in a British-record £116million transfer dealVincent Kompany’s side have also made attempts to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao but he prefers to join Barcelona. The double transfer blow has prompted Bayern to turn their attention to Martinelli, who Arsenal will listen to offers for as Mikel Arteta bids to reshape his goal-shy attackLast month, the Athletic reported that Martinelli is valued at £50m. That’d be 10 times the fee which the Gunners paid to sign him from Brazilian side Ituano in 2019.
