Arsenal transfer chief Edu has finally managed to get the better of Juventus with the Serie A side admitting defeat in their pursuit of Gabriel Magalhaes.
The Italian giants were noted as admirers of the Brazilian defender earlier this summer with them being keen to bolster their defence following another underwhelming season both on the domestic and European front.
Following an impressive couple of seasons in north London, it was thought that Gabriel would be an ideal candidate to step into the role and previous reports suggested that the Gunners would demand a relatively conservative fee of £33.8million (€40m) for the former Lille star.
