Gabriel Magalhaes, a standout for Arsenal, is reportedly the target of a big move by REAL MADRID.
The 25-year-old Gabriel is wanted by the Spanish powerhouses after Eder Militao injured his knee ligament, which will keep him out for months.
Madrid is still considering its options in the market, despite manager Carlo Ancelotti’s assertion that his team has many players capable of filling that role.
Last season, Gabriel started every game for Mikel Arteta; nevertheless, he was benched for Arsenal’s opening Premier League match against Nottingham Forest.
He is reportedly wanted in Saudi Arabia, and according to the Daily Mail, Real Madrid is “genuinely interested” in signing him as well.
According to Transfermarkt, Gabriel is valued at £47 million.
However, for a trade to occur, he would need to drastically alter his attitude at Arsenal.
At the Emirates, he is reportedly content and committed to the cause.
Additionally, given that Jurrien Timber has been injured for a long time, Arsenal would have less motivation to sell.
Another factor that makes it difficult to sell is Oleksandr Zinchenko’s questionable fitness.
Arsenal must travel to Crystal Palace tonight in an attempt to win their second straight game of the season.
To disrupt the Forest defense, Thomas Partey might play right back for Arteta, as he did against Forest.
However, this can result in Gabriel being placed back on the bench.
Nuno Tavares, whose transfer to Forest fell through, is another player that Aston Villa is considering.
