AIFederico Pena, agent of Brazilian international winger Gabriel Martinelli, has spoken about the details behind his client’s move from Arsenal to Al Hilal during the current summer transfer window.
Al Hilal officially announced the signing of Martinelli on a four-year contract running until the summer of 2030, as the club continues its drive to strengthen its attack with high-profile international names. The summer window has already seen the arrivals of Dutchman Crysencio Summerville and England’s Ollie Watkins.
In exclusive comments to Ajel, Pena said: “Having Gabriel here and seeing him wear the Al Hilal shirt means a great deal to me and his family. We have been on a long journey together in football, and joining this great club is an important step and a source of immense pride for us.”
He added: “Al Hilal’s sporting project and its ongoing ambition to compete at the highest levels both in Asia and domestically are what attracted Gabriel. We do not see this move as just a stepping stone, but as a real opportunity to build a lasting legacy with a club that lives to win titles.”
The Brazilian star played 278 matches for Arsenal across all competitions, scoring 62 goals, including 191 appearances in the Premier League with 41 goals and 24 assists.
