Arsenal have one of the best centre-backs in the football circus. The opponents have experienced this, Real Madrid have “locked” on bringing William Saliba to the San Bernabeu. It is therefore reassuring to hear that Arsenal will not start next season completely stripped of their central defence.
Gabriel Magalhaes makes up the other part of the duo, the Brazilian has played big this season and according to The Athletic, Andrea Berta’s priority was when the Atletico director took over the sporting director job at the Emirates at the end of March. The Brazilian should and must extend his contract.

Arsenal’s sporting director has clearly worked well, because according to the English media, the Brazilian is now just around the corner to extend his contract beyond 2027.
It is not known how long the contract will be, but there should be no doubt about where the 27-year-old will celebrate his thirty-something birthday. Very well paid.
