Juventus make Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes their top transfer target
Juventus, according to Di Marzio, are anxious to sign a top center-back this summer and Gabriel Magalhaes is their top choice. After 17 incredible seasons, Giorgio Chiellini is poised to leave the club this summer, and Gabriel has been named as the man to take his place in Turin.
Gabriel Magalhaes has been in excellent form this season under Mikel Arteta, appearing 33 times in all competitions. Gabriel, according to Juventus, possesses all of the necessary characteristics to adapt into Max Allegri’s system. After learning of Barcelona’s interest in the defender, Juventus is eager to complete a deal with Arsenal for the defender.
Gabriel Magalhaes is said to be happy at Arsenal, especially given their current form and the possibility of Champions League football next season. Juventus, on the other hand, believe they can entice both parties to agree to a deal by giving a sizable amount of money.

Arsenal paid £27 million to recruit Gabriel from Lille in 2020, and it’s feasible that a sale to Juventus would allow the Gunners to recoup some of their investment. Juventus, on the other hand, believe Arthur is their trump card. In January, Arsenal attempted but failed to sign Arthur on a loan deal. Despite this, they are allegedly still interested in bringing Arthur to London.
As part of a comprehensive overhaul, Juventus is willing to let Arthur leave this summer. They will, however, play hardball by utilizing him only as a way of signing Gabriel in exchange. Arthur joined Juventus from Barcelona in 2020 as part of a £66 million exchange deal that also included Miralem Pjanic.
