Barcelona are reportedly interested in Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes. 

This season, the 24-year-old has formed a strong partnership in the heart of Arsenal's defense with Ben White, scoring three goals in 27 Premier League appearances. 

In that time, Gabriel has helped Mikel Arteta's side keep 13 top-flight clean sheets, and his recent form earned him his first call-up to the Brazil national team earlier this season. 

The former Lille man's impressive season has apparently not gone unnoticed, with Sport reporting that Barcelona is now interested in signing him ahead of the summer transfer window.

 

According to the report, Memphis Depay, Neto, or Riqui Puig could be sent to the Emirates to sweeten the deal, and preliminary talks with intermediaries have already taken place. 

Gabriel has six goals and one assist in 62 appearances for Arsenal since joining in 2020, and his contract with the club runs until 2025.
