Al-Nassr line up £43m ‘offer’ for Arsenal star in £343m ‘dream squad’ rebuild

Arsenal will face a huge task in keeping one of their most inform players at the club next season with Al Nassr prepared to offer over £43m to the Premier League side.

The Gunners have been in prolific form this season, eliminating Real Madrid from the UEFA Champions League having lost the Premier League battle to Liverpool. However, centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes has been identified as one of three top targets for Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr.

Gabriel has grown to become one of the best center-backs in world football, the Brazilian has formed a great partnership with William Saliba and this has caught the attention of top clubs.

But now Saudi side Al-Nassr are reportedly targeting a summer swoop for Gabriel with Arsenal looking to sign Dean Huijsen, along with numerous other clubs.

Spanish website Fichajes insists that Al-Nassr ‘wants to put together a dream squad to win every title’ and are ‘preparing to spend 400 million euros (£343m) to sign three stars’.

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior is ‘at the top of their list’ and ‘they are seeking to seduce with an offer that would exceed 250 million euros to take him from Real Madrid’.

Lastly, Al-Nassr plan to spend another €100m on Caicedo, which leaves €50m (£43m) of their €400m plan to spend on Arsenal centre-back Gabriel.

The report adds:

‘Moises Caicedo is considered a key player in Chelsea’s midfield, but Al Nassr’s intention is clear: they are offering a fee exceeding 100 million pounds to sign the Ecuadorian, banking on his youth and consolidation in the Premier League. The challenge will be twofold, as London are not considering his departure anytime soon.

‘The third target, Gabriel Magalhaes, is under contract with Arsenal until 2027. The Saudis, however, have already begun moves to tempt the centre-back with a salary much higher than what he receives in England.’

It’s left to be seen if Gabriel will be willing to move down to Saudi despite currently in his prime and playing at the highest level for club and country.
