Real Madrid’s quest for a replacement for Eder Militao’s injury resulted in them signing Gabriel Magalhaes from Arsenal

The Brazilian centre defender has chosen to stay at the North London club, despite interest from both Real Madrid and Saudi Arabian clubs. Real Madrid has faced serious difficulties as a result of the season-long knee injury suffered by Eder Militao. The injury to the Brazilian, a key member of Carlo Ancelotti’s team, against Athletic in San Mamés prompted Real Madrid to look for suitable replacements. Arsenal center-back Gabriel Magalhaes was one of the players taken into consideration.

Militao had knee surgery last week; he will probably be sidelined for the duration of the season as a result of the injury. The management of Real Madrid first considered whether to seek a replacement, but since Gabriel replied “no thanks,” they ultimately opted to look at the current choices rather than join the market.

Gabriel, who drew the attention of many in the football world for his achievements at Arsenal last season, reportedly received Real Madrid’s interest. Although he has started this season as a substitute, the 25-year-old Brazilian was a regular pick for Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal.

Gabriel has chosen to stick with Arsenal despite Real Madrid’s obvious desire, rejecting advances from not only the Spanish powerhouses but also Saudi Arabian teams who have shown an interest in signing him. Although the interest from Real Madrid was genuine, the English press has emphasised that Gabriel is committed to Arsenal and that Arsenal is committed to the player.

Gabriel’s decision to remain at Arsenal may be viewed as a significant declaration of purpose from both the player and the organisation. Retaining a player of Gabriel’s calibre will surely be advantageous for Arsenal, particularly at this time when the team is trying to strengthen its defences. After Militao’s injury, Real Madrid chose not to actively seek out a new central defender, which indicates an intriguing tactic by Ancelotti and the team’s administration.
