Thomas Tuchel looks set to indirectly affect whether Mikel Srteta can keep Gabriel Magalhaes at Arsenal as Chelsea intensify their efforts to sign Matthijs de Ligt - an Antonio Rudiger replacement. The Juventus defender has been heavily linked with a move to Stamford Bridge this summer, and his departure could trigger a domino effect which casts doubt over the Brazil international's future.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian giants have shortlisted Gabriel as a potential replacement for De Ligt. With the west Londoners believed to be favourites to sign the 22-year-old, Chelsea could usher Juventus into signing one of the Gunners' leading defenders.
Gabriel, who sees his current contract at the Emirates Stadium expire in 2025, featured 34 times for Arsenal in the Premier League this season, steering the north Londoners within touching distance of clinching Champions League qualification. The 24-year-old has impressed since arriving from Lille two years ago, attracting the interest of Europe's leading sides.
