Overview
- Gabriel Magalhaes signed a four-year extension on June 6, committing him to Arsenal through the 2028-29 season.
- Since joining from Lille in 2020, the 27-year-old centre-back has made 210 appearances and scored 20 goals across all competitions.
- He is currently sidelined by a hamstring injury sustained late in the 2024-25 campaign but is expected to be fit for the 2025-26 season.
- Magalhaes’s partnership with William Saliba has anchored a defence that has allowed the fewest Premier League goals over the last two seasons.
- The Brazil international turned down lucrative offers from the Saudi Pro League as part of Arsenal’s wider push to lock in core talent, with discussions now shifting to Saliba’s deal.
