Real Madrid are looking for a new centre-back as they aim to cover the expected departure of David Alaba, as well as the possibility of Antonio Rudiger leaving.
In recent weeks, Madrid have been linked with names like Ibrahima Konate and Nico Schlotterbeck, and now another name has been added to the list.
Real Madrid have previously shown a keen interest in William Saliba. Although he signed a new contract with Arsenal at the start of the season, there could be an opportunity for him to end up at the Santiago Bernabeu in the future.
For now, however, the focus is not on him, but on his partner in the center of defense.
According to TEAMtalk , Real Madrid have recently made a request to learn about Gabriel Magalhaes’ availability.
The Brazilian has been one of Arsenal’s most prominent players over the last 18 months, which has led Los Blancos to see him as an ideal option to strengthen their defensive department.
However, the chances of a deal are slim. Real Madrid’s request was immediately rejected, with Arsenal making it clear that a sale is not possible at any price.
Given that the 28-year-old signed a new long-term contract last summer, the Premier League leaders are under no pressure to sell him, which makes a move to the Spanish capital very difficult.
