Barcelona are intent on signing Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes this summer with the Gunners identifying three players who could go the other way.
The central defender was signed from Lille in the summer of 2020 and has been a regular under Mikel Arteta, clocking up 62 first-team appearances for the Gunners. This campaign, the Brazilian has formed a formidable central defensive partnership with Ben White – with the highly-rated youngster William Saliba loaned out again this season to Marseille.
Gabriel was at fault for both goals Arsenal conceded in the first half in last week’s defeat at Crystal Palace as they found themselves 2-0 down at the break. Wilfried Zaha's penalty would secure a 3-0 win for the hosts, a damaging setback for the Gunners in their race with Tottenham to finish in the top four – with the defender appearing to ignore advice from Arteta.
