Arsenal risks losing one of their key players during the summer transfer window, with Al-Nassr looking at a movement for Gabriel Magalhães.
In recent years, Gabriel has become one of the most important players on the Arsenal team, Mikel Arteta using it as an effective weapon in defense and attack. He scored 20 goals during his stay in northern London, with five of those who came this season.
In defense, Gabriel established a very solid partnership with William Saliba, who was himself linked to a move. The pair is regularly considered the best central defensive partnership of the Premier League, while being one of the best in the world.
Al-Nassr wants to sign Gabriel Magalhães this summer
However, there is a chance that they will be separated in summer. According to Givemesport, Al-Nassr plans a successful move for Gabriel, with plans for Saudi giants to offer a contract worth 20 million euros per season.
The pressure is on the new director of Arsenal sport, Andrea Berta, to ward off this interest in the form of a new contract. There have been contacts in recent weeks with the representatives of the Brazilian, and there is a desire that an agreement be concluded before the end of the season, which puts an end to the pursuit of Al-Nassr before even starting properly.
Arsenal does not intend to sell Gabriel even if a new contract has not agreed before the opening of the summer transfer window, and if an offer had to arrive, their position would be strong. It is believed that no offer under 100 million euros would be envisaged, which indicates that the artillerymen are determined to keep their man at the club for at least one more season.
