Gabriel Magalhaes to Barcelona?

Barcelona have been credited with an interest in Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes ahead of the summer transfer window.

The Brazilian has been a key player for the Gunners in central defence. He has been ever-present in the Premier League since September.

His performances have earned him plenty of plaudits from Arsenal fans, and it has been reported that he could be rewarded with a new deal.

Amidst this, Sport claims that Barcelona are planning a shock move for Magalhaes, and could open talks with the Gunners in the coming weeks.

The north London giants are not looking to sanction his sale, but the Blaugrana will seek to tempt them with a player-plus-cash proposal.

The Catalans are prepared to include Memphis Depay, Neto or Riqui Puig in a part-exchange agreement for the 24-year-old this summer.

Barcelona have already agreed pre-contract deals for Andreas Christensen and Franck Kessie, but are still looking at various transfer options.

Xavi Hernandez has recommended Magalhaes, but a deal could prove difficult unless there is a significant transfer offer on the table.
