EXPERT TAKE
ESPN’s Real Madrid correspondent Alex Kirkland weighs in on whether or not Gabriel Magalhães to the LaLiga giants is smart:
ESPN has reported {that a} centre-back is a precedence signing for Madrid this summer season. Éder Militão has had an damage inclined few years, lacking most of the final three seasons; Dean Huijsen is promising, however nonetheless unproven on the highest stage, and hasn’t had the smoothest debut marketing campaign; Antonio Rüdiger is 32 and will go away on the finish of the season, whereas David Alaba, 33, is definite to depart. Raúl Asencio is a helpful deputy, however would not appear prone to ever cement a spot as an everyday starter.
All that signifies that a brand new central defender is a should. The large drawback with Gabriel — an impressive defender, whose kind for Arsenal has not gone unnoticed in Spain — is that he’s 28 years outdated, and has a contract on the Emirates till 2029, after agreeing a brand new deal final yr. What variety of sum would Madrid must pay Arsenal to persuade them to half with a key participant, and is that basically a possible state of affairs, given his age profile?
In latest years, Madrid’s switch coverage in the case of skilled gamers, particularly defenders, has been the exact opposite: signing them on a free switch when their contract expires, like Rüdiger and Alaba, or for a minimal price, like Trent Alexander-Arnold. Spending large on Gabriel would run counter to that, and it feels extremely unlikely that Florentino Pérez — whose greatest spends in recent times have been on Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé, and extra not too long ago, children Huijsen, Álvaro Carreras, Franco Mastantuono and Endrick — would sanction that sort of deal.
Instead, Madrid have been taking a look at but extra defenders who’re coming in the direction of the top of their contracts, like Liverpool‘s Ibrahima Konaté, and even Gabriel’s teammate William Saliba earlier than he signed a brand new deal at Arsenal, whereas they’ve additionally been monitoring Borussia Dortmund‘s Nico Schlotterbeck, whose contract is up in 2027.
That variety of signing feels a lot, more likely than Gabriel.
