How Gabriel Martinelli's 'Proposed Al Hilal Salary' Would Compare to Arsenal Earnings

Gabriel Martinelli could be offered more than $16.4 million (£12 million) per year to leave Arsenal and join Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, moving him into a new earnings tier, according to The Times. The report follows hints from manager Mikel Arteta, who has not started Martinelli in a competitive match this season despite his involvement in first-team training. Before Al Hilal entered talks, Martinelli reportedly rebuffed advances from Galatasaray. The key factor may be Saudi Arabia’s tax environment, potentially allowing him to take home the full $16.4 million, while Arsenal’s top earners hand roughly 47% to HMRC.
