Arsenal have conceded 24 goals in 29 Premier League games this season. No one else, even Liverpool (27), has sealed the defence like Arsenal. At the centre of this almost tight Arsenal defence is Gabriel. The Brazilian has stood for 90 minutes in all games, except for the game he was injured in and the two following games. Now there are murmurs that the star is being tempted away from the Emirates.
According to Football-Insider, there have been negotiations earlier in the season between Arsenal and the 27-year-old about an extension beyond 2027, but without results. This has created uncertainty about Gabriel’s future at Arsenal. When it was announced this week that Ronaldo’s club will be ready with a salary offer of €20 million a year to persuade one of the Premier League’s best centre-backs to leave Arsenal, Gunners supporters threw themselves at the keyboard.
“The money will influence him to go.”
“The money talks.”
“Don’t want to sell him, but this is the second season they’re coming for him. If he goes, I hope we milk them.”
“As much as I would hate it: Take the money!”
“Gabriel has for some time not been satisfied with his salary. Wouldn’t be surprised if he takes the Saudi money.”
According to Givemesport, the Saudi Arabian club are willing to pay up to £100 million.
