The Daily Mail recently reported that Real Madrid is attempting to sign Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes this summer. According to reports, Los Blancos are eager to sign the Brazilian center back and bring him to the Spanish capital before the month is through.

Gabriel’s Last Season’s Decent Premier League Run of Form

Gabriel recently had a successful season with the North London club where he was in charge of putting up a number of standout performances at the center of their defense. Last season, the 25-year-old played in 48 games for Arsenal and scored three goals in different tournaments.

The Brazilian superstar, who averaged 1.3 tackles, 0.8 interceptions, and 3.2 clearances per 90 minutes in the Premier League, was a rock at the back. After successfully completing 89.7% of his attempted passes in the English first division, he was even precise while passing the ball from inside his half (statistics from Whoscored).

Gabriel has a contract with the Emirates Stadium through the 2027 summer season. Therefore, if Real Madrid wants to sign the Brazilian center-half this month, they will have to pay a high price.

Gabriel: Is He a Smart Choice for Real Madrid?

Gabriel has a keen sense of danger and doesn’t mind participating in some heavy tackles to make life difficult for the opposing attackers. When necessary, he typically puts his foot through the ball and may make some crucial interceptions for his team inside his half.

We may anticipate that the Brazilian phenomenon will give Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid,’ defense more bite and steel. Over the upcoming few years, he might even help Los Blancos contend on all fronts.

Gabriel is a great option for the Madrid giants to pursue during this summer’s transfer window because he will only become better at age 25.
