Arsenal are having a terrific season. They are alive in all competitions and have a chance of winning a quadruple this season.
The Gunners will play Manchester City in the final of the Carabao Cup. Also, they are leading the Premier League table and are alive in the FA Cup.
Furthermore, they will face one of Bayer Leverkusen or Atalanta in the round of 16 of the Champions League.
So, many European giants will be tracking Arsenal players, especially Real Madrid. As Transfer News Live mentioned earlier, the Los Blancos are looking to sign a midfielder.
Declan Rice has been in terrific form for the Gunners. Also, last summer, Madrid wanted Martin Zubimendi, but the Spaniard picked Arsenal over them.
However, Real Madrid’s priority will be to sign a defender. In eight Champions League games, Arsenal conceded only four goals.
Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba have been in top form for the Gunners. Their defence is one of the main reasons for their success so far this season.
That is why, according to TEAMtalk, Real Madrid approached Arsenal for a possible move for Gabriel. However, the Gunners swiftly rejected that move.
Last summer, the Brazilian extended his stay at the Emirates till 2029. And the Gunners have informed the Los Blancos that they will not be entertaining offers for him.
So, Real Madrid will now have to look for other options as Barcelona are already helping them to sign a promising German defender.
🚨 Real Madrid have made an enquiry about Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães.
However, the Spanish giants were swiftly made aware that luring him away from the Emirates is not an option.
