Arsenal Gabriel Magalhães

Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival has significantly boosted the Saudi Pro League’s global profile, attracting several world-class players to the region.

Al-Nassr have assembled an impressive squad featuring stars like Mohamed Simakan, Aymeric Laporte, Marcelo Brozovic, Sadio Mane, and Jhon Duran. Now, they have set their sights on another high-profile addition.

According to talkSPORT, the Saudi club is keen on signing Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães. Reports suggest Al-Nassr are prepared to offer the Brazilian a staggering $20 million per season—three times his current salary at the Emirates. However, Arsenal are expected to demand at least $130 million for his departure.

While Gabriel remains focused on Arsenal’s campaign, he could be open to a move to Saudi Arabia in the future.

Gabriel joined Arsenal in 2020 and has made 209 appearances for the club, including 41 this season. He has formed a formidable defensive partnership with William Saliba at the heart of Mikel Arteta's side.

Al-Nassr already boast two experienced defenders with European pedigree, but adding Gabriel would further strengthen their backline. The Saudi club has conceded 27 goals in 25 league matches this season, and with Stefano Pioli reportedly set to take over, reinforcing the defense could be a key priority to boost their title aspirations next season.
