Real Madrid want Arsenal star who is on a “different level” according to Mikel Arteta | OneFootball

Real Madrid’s interest in Arsenal defender William Saliba has been well documented in the media.

Just like they have signed Raphael Varane in the past, they are looking to make the young French defender a part of their setup after being impressed by his consistent performances for the last two seasons.

Carlo Ancelotti need more options in defense after struggling with injuries to key players like David Alaba, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal.

Now, another Arsenal player has impressed the European champions and it is none other than Saliba’s central defensive partner Gabriel Magalhaes.

According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are keen on signing Brazilian centre-back Gabriel.

The set-piece specialist has been one of the best players for Mikel Arteta’s side this season.

Not only is he a great defender but also a threatening presence from set-pieces, just like former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos.

However, both Saliba and Gabriel are considered unsellable by the Gunners and Real Madrid have no chance of signing either of them.

They form one of the best central defensive partnership in world football and their record for the last two seasons is a proof of that.

Florentino Perez, the president of Real Madrid, often gets his transfer targets like he has shown in the recent past with the signings of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe.

It is not going to be the case with Saliba and Gabriel though, as Arsenal have no intention of selling them now or in the near future.

Arsenal consider Saliba and Gabriel unsellable

They both are crucial to Arsenal’s hopes of challenging for the Premier League and the Champions League.

The Gunners beat competition from Tottenham and Manchester United to sign Gabriel and it would be difficult to replace him in the market, that is why they will entertain no offers from Real Madrid for the Brazilian defender.

It could only happen if the centre-back pushes for a move away from the Emirates Stadium but that is highly unlikely since he is happy at the club and determined to challenge once again for the league title this season.
