Galatasaray have made a double raid on Arsenal for Gabriel Martinelli and Ethan Nwaneri, according to journalist Haluk Yurekli.
Speaking to the 343 Digital YouTube channel (quotes translated by Sport Witness), Yurekli said that bids have been lodged for the pair:
“Nwaneri is one of Arsenal’s young attacking midfielders. He is 19-years-old and has many suitors from the Premier League. Galatasaray has submitted an official offer to Arsenal for Nwaneri, along with Martinelli.”

Arsenal are willing to offload both players
Writing in The Athletic‘s Transfer DealSheet column, trusted reporter James McNicholas confirmed that the Gunners are “open to trading” Martinelli. He also mentioned that Galatasaray have already made an enquiry for the Brazilian, but it appears as if they have stepped up their interest by tabling a formal offer.
In terms of Nwaneri, multiple sources have claimed that the Premier League champions are willing to sell the 19-year-old for the right price, but they would prefer to include a buyback clause in any agreement.
Do we know the details of Galatasaray’s offer?
Turkish media reporting is notoriously unreliable, so take what is said with a very large pinch of salt, but it has been suggested that Martinelli and Nwaneri were the subject of loan offers.
Galatasaray want to include an option to buy in the Martinelli deal, while they have been scared off from trying to sign Nwaneri on a permanent basis due to the teenager’s high asking price.
Even if the pair do not end up moving to Turkey before the transfer window closes, there is a strong possibility that they won’t be at the Emirates beyond September 1st.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
