Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhaes: Saudi Clubs Eye £35m Transfer

Arsenal's Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhaes has caught the attention of Saudi Arabian clubs, who are reportedly ready to table a £35 million offer for his services. The 25-year-old centre-back, who joined the Gunners from Lille in 2020, has become a key player in Mikel Arteta's squad, making 100 appearances across all competitions.

Despite his importance to Arsenal, the Saudi Pro League's financial muscle could tempt the North London club to consider a sale. The league has been on a spending spree, luring high-profile players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Karim Benzema with lucrative contracts. Gabriel's potential departure could provide Arsenal with funds to bolster other areas of their squad.

However, it remains to be seen whether Gabriel himself would be interested in a move to the Middle East. The defender has expressed his happiness at Arsenal and his desire to continue his development under Arteta. The Brazilian's contract with the club runs until 2027, giving Arsenal a strong negotiating position.

As the transfer window progresses, all eyes will be on Gabriel's situation. If Saudi clubs follow through with their interest, Arsenal will face a tough decision on whether to cash in on one of their most reliable defenders or keep him as a cornerstone of their backline.
