‘More than untouchable’: Fabrizio Romano says Arsenal won’t sell their £30m player no matter what

Arsenal will not be selling Gabriel Magalhaes for any price this summer.

Speaking on the Here We Go Podcast, Fabrizio Romano has been discussing the Brazilian after he was approached by Juventus last summer.

The Gunners turned down an approach from Juventus last year for their star defender, stating that Gabriel was untouchable at the time.

Well, after another fantastic campaign this time around, Romano says that Gabriel is now beyond untouchable at Arsenal as he’s cemented himself as one of Mikel Arteta’s most important players.

Will not be sold

Romano shared what he knows about the £30m defender.

“To bring you behind the scenes last summer Juventus wanted a left-footed centre-back to and the name they had on the list was Gabriel Magalhaes from Arsenal. They really wanted Gabriel, but it was impossible because Arsenal considered him untouchable and of course now he is more than untouchable,” Romano said.

Be firm

Arsenal will not sell Gabriel for any price this summer, and he’s one of a number of players that they must deem untouchable right now.

It goes without saying that the likes of Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli and William Saliba must also been seen in the same vein, while the same could be said for the rest of the XI.

For far too long, Arsenal have been something of a selling club, but that has to stop now as they try to re-establish themselves as one of Europe’s top sides.

Gabriel may be beyond untouchable at the Emirates, but the same should apply to every single one of Arsenal’s important players.

Arsenal must be firm and be ambitious this summer if they are to once again challenge for the Premier League title next season.
