LILLE’s Gabriel dos Santos Magalhães will probably become a new Arsenal player today.

According to reports, Manchester United asked the Lille defender not to sign anything, but United themselves did not make any offer.

Magalhães is expected to complete his € 30 million (more than R600 million) move to Arsenal in the coming week.

According to informants, he is already expected in London today to complete the paperwork.

The Gunners were confident that they could have confirmed Magalhães’ purchase earlier.

That’s after the Ligue 1 team accepted an offer last week.

However, other clubs such as Napoli, United and Manchester City have also started showing interest in the star.

Second
Negotiations between Arsenal and Lille this weekend were crucial and Gabriel should sign a five-year deal earlier this week.

This is Arsenal’s second deal with Lille: Nicolas Pépé was recruited last year for a club record of £ 72 million (about R1.6 billion).
