Real Madrid has reportedly shifted their focus to £65m-valued Arsenal Star with two goals this season, After Being Told William Saliba and Saka aren’t for Sale – Another Chelsea star to join Arsenal by January

Real Madrid apparently changed their attention to Gabriel Magalhães, the defender for Arsenal, after learning that their first target, William Saliba, is not for sale. Due to Saliba’s outstanding performances from the previous season, the Spanish powerhouses were eager to add him to their roster. They are trying to strengthen their defense after losing several important players. The Frenchman is untouchable, though, as Arsenal made clear, so Real Madrid had to go elsewhere.

Real Madrid scouts had great admiration for Saliba, who has since established himself as a crucial component of Mikel Arteta’s system at Arsenal. His poise, skill with the ball, and dominant presence in defense made him a strong contender to take the position of the Spanish team’s aging defensive core. Arsenal were steadfast in their position, even in the face of Real Madrid’s considerable financial might and the prospect of prizes. His long-term future in North London was further sealed when the 23-year-old Frenchman recently extended his contract with the Gunners.

Real Madrid moved their focus to Gabriel Magalhães, another Arsenal center-back who has attracted interest from Europe’s elite teams, after firmly closing the door on Saliba. The Brazilian international Gabriel has been a pillar at Arsenal’s defense, helping them climb the Premier League ladder the previous year. His size, aerial supremacy, and defensive acumen have made him a desirable substitute for Real Madrid.

The management of the Spanish team thinks Gabriel may be a great addition to the team, particularly because they are in need of a center defender with left foot. Manager Carlo Ancelotti finds the defender appealing because of his game reading skills and experience in a competitive league such as the Premier League.

Good things have come out of the two teams’ initial talks, according to people with knowledge of the issue. Even if they wouldn’t want to lose another important defender, Arsenal might be more willing to negotiate for Gabriel, particularly if Real Madrid makes a sizable bid. The Brazilian is still essential to Arteta’s defensive strategies, thus Arsenal is unlikely to let him go easy.

According to reports, Real Madrid is putting up an offer that might involve a player-plus-cash arrangement, possibly in exchange for some of their peripheral players. Although it’s unclear if Arsenal would consider such a move, Gabriel could undoubtedly wear Los Blancos’ renowned white shirt in the upcoming weeks.

As the transfer window draws near, everyone’s attention will be focused on whether Real Madrid can sign Gabriel Magalhães or if they will have to go elsewhere to bolster their defense. The competition for Europe’s best defenders is far from finished, that much is certain.
