The Al-Nassr has started to make moves to reinforce its defense with a high-level signing: Gabriel Magalhães. The Saudi club intends to acquire the center-back from Arsenal in the upcoming summer transfer window and has already initiated contacts to persuade him to switch from the Premier League to the Saudi Pro League. With an economically compelling offer, Riyadh's team is looking to strengthen its squad with a key piece in Mikel Arteta's scheme.

Meanwhile, Arsenal has no intention of letting go of the Brazilian. Their new sporting director, Andrea Berta, will resume negotiations to extend his contract, which currently ends in 2027. Magalhães is a cornerstone in the London team's defense plans, and a sale is not on the agenda unless an irresistible offer is made. Any proposal below 100 million euros is expected to be immediately rejected.

From Saudi Arabia, however, they are determined to persist. Al-Nassr is offering the defender a salary triple of what he currently earns in London, along with tax benefits that would make the offer even more enticing. Although the footballer is currently focused on the final stretch of the season with the Gunners and their Champions League fight, his future remains open.

While Arsenal works on renewing Magalhães, they are also in pursuit of reinforcements. Berta is expected to have a busy summer, needing to sign a forward, a winger, a full-back, and a defensive midfielder. Additionally, the club is still in talks with Martín Zubimendi, although Real Sociedad remains steadfast in their wish to retain him.
