Arsenal are making strong progress in contract talks with Gabriel Magalhaes as they aim to secure the defender’s long-term future.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, discussions between the club and the Brazilian are now at an advanced stage and Arsenal are ‘on the verge’ of reaching an agreement.

Gabriel has developed into a central figure for Mikel Arteta’s side since his arrival from Lille two years ago.

He cost the Gunners around £27 million in 2022 and has since grown into one of the Premier League’s top defenders.

His partnership with William Saliba has become the foundation of Arsenal’s defensive setup.

Together, they have built one of the most solid centre-back pairings in European football.

Gabriel’s current deal runs until 2027, but Arsenal are working hard to extend his stay beyond that.

The club want to reward his rise with a new deal and also prevent any future uncertainty around his future.

Consistent displays attract attention across Europe

Gabriel’s commanding performances have attracted attention from top clubs across Europe and Saudi Arabia in recent months.

This growing interest is a reflection of his quality, consistency, and ability to step up in high-pressure moments.

The new contract is expected to run until 2030, putting an end to any uncertainty surrounding the defender’s future at the club.

He has built a reputation for his strength, anticipation, and timing in defensive duels.

Beyond his defending, Gabriel also offers a goal threat, especially from corners and free kicks.

The 26-year-old has scored five goals and provided three assists across all competitions this season.

That attacking output makes him a valuable asset in both boxes for Arsenal.

He has been crucial in helping the Gunners pose a serious threat from set pieces over the past two campaigns.

Despite missing the final weeks of the season due to a hamstring injury, Gabriel remains a key player in Arteta’s plans.

He was forced to undergo surgery in April, but early signs suggest he will be available for the start of next season.

With Arsenal preparing for a big summer in the transfer market, keeping their top performers tied down is a priority.

Tying Gabriel to a new deal would be a major step forward ahead of another demanding campaign.

The club view him as a leader on and off the pitch, and securing his future sends out a strong message.
