Arsenal are ready to sell key defender Gabriel Magalhaes with the aim of collecting £ 100 million into the transfer fund from the sale of their players before the summer 2023 transfer window closes.
The Brazilian player tops the list of people the Gunners are willing to let go. However, the Daily Mail insists that Gabriel will only leave the Emirates Stadium this month if Arsenal find a replacement for him.
Gabriel is one of a number of players that Arsenal are willing to sell in the closing days of the summer transfer window in order to raise £ 100 million into the transfer budget. The source also emphasizes that striker Folarin Balogun is also free to leave if any team meets the price of £ 50 million. Chelsea and Fulham are both said to be interested in the American striker, while Monaco have previously been rejected by Arsenal.
As for Gabriel, his future at the Emirates Stadium is uncertain. Coach Mikel Arteta left the centre-back out of the starting line-up in both Arsenal’s first two Premier League games this season. Some sources say that there is interest in Gabriel from Saudi Arabia as well as Real Madrid – the team is considering signing him after Eder Militao’s injury.
However, it is understandable that Gabriel – who signed a new contract last October, is likely to stay. Arsenal are only willing to let the player go if a replacement is found, which they believe will be difficult in the closing days of the summer transfer window.
However, a number of other players could still be left, including defender Kieran Tierney – the case is attracting interest from clubs in England and Spain. However, many opinions say that the 26-year-old player is about to return to his old team Celtic on loan. And midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga is emerging as a target for Brighton this week.
