Arsenal have no interest in entertaining offers for Barcelona-linked centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes this summer, according to a report.
The 24-year-old has formed a strong partnership with Ben White in the heart of the Gunners' defence this term and has registered three goals in 27 Premier League matches.
Gabriel's form has supposedly attracted the attention of Barcelona ahead of the summer transfer window, but the Catalans appear to be fighting a losing battle to prise him away from North London.
According to football.london, Barcelona's interest in Gabriel is genuine, and he is at the top of their defensive wishlist as Samuel Umtiti and Clement Lenglet prepare to leave the club.
However, the report adds that Mikel Arteta has no intention of parting ways with the Brazilian, who could be a candidate for the captaincy if Alexandre Lacazette leaves as a free agent.
Gabriel has tallied six goals and one assist in 62 games for Arsenal since arriving from Lille in 2020 and has talked up his love for the club amid links with a move to Barca.
