Galatasaray reportedly ready to bid £38m for Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli

Galatasaray are reportedly prepared to offer £38m for Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli, according to a transfer-rumour roundup published on 13 August 2026; the story appears amid a wider set of summer moves and inquiries. The same report also details interest in Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones and several confirmed or proposed transfers involving Ipswich, Hull and other clubs.

The transfer column collects speculation and club activity from across Europe this summer, naming specific figures and targets. Inter Milan have long tracked Curtis Jones and may test Liverpool with a £30m approach. Ipswich have agreed a permanent deal for Julio Enciso with Strasbourg after a loan spell in 2025 that was hampered by injury, and the club will also sign right-back Abdoul Ouattara from the same French side. Crystal Palace had a £35m offer for Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara rejected, with Monaco described as reluctant to sell following the fee received for Aladji Bamba.

Inter’s possible move for Curtis Jones is framed as a concrete approach, with the Italians said to be prepared to bid £30m to test Liverpool’s resolve. The piece positions that potential offer alongside other midfield enquiries across Europe, but provides no confirmation that Liverpool will accept such a bid.

Ipswich’s dealings with Strasbourg are presented as completed and planned business: the club has agreed a permanent deal for Julio Enciso despite his injury-plagued loan at Portman Road in 2025, and they are also taking Abdoul Ouattara from Strasbourg. The report states Ipswich intend Enciso to lead their fight for Premier League survival following that permanent signing.

Arsenal are mentioned as a club that may need to move players on, with Myles Lewis-Skelly listed among those who could be available. Gabriel Martinelli is specifically linked with Galatasaray, who are said to be willing to spend £38m on the Brazilian, and the Turkish side are also reported to have interest in Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister.

Hull City are reported to have completed a signing for Lucas Herrington and to be preparing to bring Joe Gelhardt in from Leeds; Gelhardt previously spent time on loan with Hull, helping them secure promotion to the Premier League. Separately, an inquiry has reportedly been made to Juventus regarding the availability of Teun Koopmeiners.

Aston Villa feature several times: João Palhinha is said to have agreed to join on loan while Bayern Munich are described as eager to sell him, and the Villans have been in contact with Juventus over Jonathan David. The column adds that Aston Villa are priming themselves for a busy end to the window.

The report lists additional player interest and bids: Aaron Wan-Bissaka may be reluctant to remain at West Ham for a Championship season and is being tracked by Aston Villa and Fulham, with Villa Park presented as the more likely destination; Sunderland have lodged a £40m bid for El Hadji Malick Diouf but his employers want £10m more; Kyle Walker has been linked as a target for David Moyes to take to Everton from Burnley; Michail Antonio has been training with Watford after a spell with Al-Sailiya and is available for nothing; and Bolton are exploring a deal for Millwall midfielder Luke Cundle.

Aston Villa’s stated preparations for a busy close to the summer window are the final, explicit implication in the roundup, with multiple clubs named as active in pursuit of signings in the published report.
