Al Nassr are in contact with the agent of Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes

Al Nassr is reportedly in communication with Gabriel Magalhaes’s agents at Arsenal and is getting ready to submit an offer this summer. In September 2020, Gabriel paid over £24 million to join Arsenal from Lille, a French team. Despite not being a consistent starter in his first season under Mikel Arteta, he emerged as a key player in 2021–2022, tallying five goals in 35 Premier League games.

William Saliba’s addition to the Gunners’ defense has improved the Brazilian’s game to a new level. He has played in all 38 of the 2022–2023 Premier League games, missing just nine minutes overall.

At the start of the next season, Arteta experimented with his backline, starting the former Lille defender on the bench in his team’s opening three league games amid speculations that he was moving to Saudi Arabia. Since the beginning of 2022–2023, Gabriel has probably been the Premier League’s top center-back, and he and Saliba have what may be the greatest defensive tandem in world football.

Saudi Arabia plan ambitious move for Arsenal superstar

Although Arsenal is keen to sign Gabriel to a new contract, they have not yet reached an agreement with the 27-year-old’s representation. Gabriel has just over two years left on his current contract. According to GiveMeSport, the Saudi Pro League team has already made a first approach to Gabriel’s camp, indicating that Al-Nassr is “intent” on signing him this summer.

According to reports, Stefano Pioli’s team is prepared to pay the Brazil defender €20 million a year, and Gabriel is “open” to the idea of relocating to Saudi Arabia at some time in his career. However, until an offer beyond €100 million is made, Arsenal is unlikely to consider a deal because they are committed to signing Gabriel to a new, long-term contract.

The 27-year-old has made 41 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions so far this season, tallying five goals. His estimated transfer value (ETV) is presently €74.4 million, which is the fifth-highest of any defender in the world of football.
