In search of a safer defence, PSG have their sights set on Gabriel Magalhaes. The Brazilian centre-back has had a solid season at Arsenal and he knows Luis Campos well. All that remains is to convince him to come and it’s not won yet.
40 goals, a very interesting cap to reach for an attacker but much less for the defense of a big European club. Here is PSG’s sad defensive record in Ligue 1 this season, the worst for a French champion in 20 years. Still beaten three times by the attackers of Clermont on Saturday evening, the Parisian defense was too fragile and that must change quickly. Parisian leaders have already started to broach the subject. They have been preparing for Milan Skriniar’s arrival this winter and have gotten rid of Sergio Ramos in recent days.
PSG tries the impossible with Gabriel
This is how Luis Campos intends to position himself on Arsenal centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes. The Brazilian has been very successful this season with the Gunners, second in the Premier League behind Manchester City. Enough to make him a target of choice for the PSG sports adviser, especially since he knows him well for having brought him to LOSC in 2017. But this file promises to be very perilous despite the link between the two men.

Arrived at Arsenal in 2020, Gabriel (25) is still under contract until 2027 in London. According to the Goal media, the probability of a transfer to PSG this summer is very low. The player does not want to leave Arsenal with whom he will discover the Champions League next season. A refusal which would not be new for the Parisians, who had already tried to attract him during the summer transfer window of 2022. Unless they make a colossal financial offer to Arsenal, PSG will undoubtedly have to look into another player this summer.
