Arsenal decide Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus price tags as duo up for sale Arsenal have set their asking prices for Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus. Roma have emerged as the latest club to register an interest in Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli. The Brazilian featured as a second-half substitute on Sunday as the Gunners suffered a 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund in their most recent pre-season friendly. The Serie A outfit have opened preliminary talks with his representatives, though his wages - on top of a transfer fee - are likely to present a significant obstacle to any deal. Martinelli has technically entered the final year of his contract at the Emirates, however, Arsenal retain a 12-month extension clause that they can activate to safeguard his value. Turkish heavyweights Galatasaray are also hovering, though they have been attempting to secure a deal with AC Milan for Rafael Leao. Arsenal will not entertain selling Martinelli without first securing a quality replacement, and their £45m valuation must also be met. The Premier League champions watched Bradley Barcola in person for France at the World Cup but preferred a move for Morgan Rogers and are now put off by PSG's staggering £145m asking price. Liverpool are also understood to be Barcola's preferred destination. EXPRESS SPORT ON FB!

Jesus' agent, Giovanni Branchini, recently visited Napoli's training camp, though he has since clarified that he was merely calling on head coach Massimiliano Allegri. Arsenal are seeking up to £20m for the former Manchester City striker, who is entering the final year of his current deal, though offers exceeding £15m will be given consideration too. Turkish outfit Besiktas also have Jesus on their radar as a potential alternative, should they fall short in their pursuit of Dusan Vlahovic, who is without a club following his departure from Juventus.
