Multiple clubs in Saudi Arabia remain interested in Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes. This is amid reports he could leave the club this tranfer window itself.
Benge mentioned that Al-Ittihad were now confident in securing the signature of Sergio Ramos. Something that was significant given Gabriel was a target for tgem
However, Benge then confirmed that other Saudi clubs still admired Gabriel and will be making a move in the coming days.
What Benge had to say about Gabriel Magalhaes
Benge said:-
“Al-Ittihad are growing in confidence that they can secure the signature of Sergio Ramos.“They have targeted the likes of Raphael Varane, Marquinhos and Gabriel Magalhaes in recent days.“The latter has other admirers in Saudi Arabia.”
Arteta’s side gave away excellent chances against Fulham in their 2-2 draw. This is much like they did against Nottingham Forest despite winning the game.
And if reports are true and Saudi Arabia interest does press on for Gabriel then Arsenal could be in a difficult position later on this window
Gabriel is so influential for the club at the back. But is unlikely to want to sit on the bench for large parts of the season for Arsenal.
Mikel Arteta’s side looked vulnerable at the back. This is a growing trend at the Emirates.
And with Gabriel not playing a minute, even when Arsenal had retaken the lead. It’s no surprise to see more links surface with a move away from the Emirates.
It would still be a huge surprise to see Gabriel leave Arsenal for Saudi Arabia. But fans may be increasingly worried.
