Atletico Madrid is reportedly interested in Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes, viewing him as a potential fit for their team. Sources indicate that the club’s new sporting director, Andrea Berta, has initiated talks with Gabriel’s representatives and is planning to propose a long-term contract to the Brazilian defender. Gabriel, who has featured in 42 matches for Arsenal this season, is also said to be admired by Real Madrid for his leadership abilities in defense. The departure of Gabriel could significantly impact Arsenal’s aspirations in the Premier League and European competitions, as his technical prowess and leadership on the field are vital to the club’s success. Despite the interest from Atletico Madrid and other major European clubs, Arsenal is reportedly keen on retaining the player and has set a minimum transfer fee of €100 million.
