Martinelli's new Arsenal wage revealed as comparison made with Mudryk's Chelsea deal

Gabriel Martinelli's reported new wage at Arsenal has been revealed after he signed a new long-term contract with the Gunners on Friday.

The Brazilian forward penned fresh terms to keep him at the club until the summer of 2027, with the option of a further year.

His previous deal was due to expire in the summer of 2024, with Arsenal having been locked in talks with the young trio of Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba over new contracts.

Martinelli's new terms represent one piece of the puzzle now being completed, and boss Mikel Arteta and sporting director Edu were both delighted with the signing.

Arteta told the club's website: "We're delighted Gabi has signed a new long-term contract. Our supporters see his quality and energy every single time he puts on the shirt and he's the same every day in training, with his hard work and positive values."

Edu added: "The foundations of our squad continue to be built on young talent, so it's great that Gabi has signed a new contract.

"Gabi is still just 21, and a player with big ability and personality. He is an important part of our future and we're delighted that we have agreed a new contract."

Martinelli, meanwhile, spoke of his pride in extending his stay at the Emirates Stadium: "I love everything about Arsenal. I love the city, I love my team-mates, I love the fans, I love the club and I'm going to try my best for this football club."

Martinelli's new Arsenal wage reported

According to The Sun's Daniel Cutts, Martinelli is now on around £180,000-a-week at Arsenal after signing his new contract.

Chelsea, meanwhile, have been said to be paying new signing Mykhailo Mudryk a wage of £97,000-a-week, as per The Athletic, meaning Martinelli appears to be earning nearly double what the Ukrainian winger is picking up each week if the figure is officially correct.

The same report claimed that the Gunners offered Mudryk within £10,000 less than what he is now on at Chelsea during negotiations with the player.

Although they agreed on personal terms, Mudryk eventually became a Chelsea player after Blues chiefs travelled to Poland and thrashed out a last-minute deal with Shakhtar Donetsk. The club's CEO told The Athletic that the two Premier League sides offered the same figure for the 22-year-old, with only the structure of payments and basis of achievable add-ons different.

The Ukrainian will hope to be a key player for Chelsea for many years to come - and Martinelli will now hope to continue to be a vital player for Arsenal in the long-term after signing his new deal.
