Gabriel Commits Future to Arsenal with New Long-Term Contract

Brazilian Defender Expresses Love for the Club and Ambition to Win Trophies

Arsenal have secured a key piece of their future after finalizing a new long-term contract with defender Gabriel Magalhães. The 27-year-old Brazilian, who has become a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta’s defense, has extended his stay at the Emirates despite having two years left on his previous deal.

Since arriving from Lille in 2020, Gabriel has grown into a fan favorite, forming a formidable partnership with William Saliba at the heart of Arsenal’s backline. With 210 appearances and an impressive 20 goals across all competitions, his influence on the team has been undeniable.

The 2024/25 season saw his campaign cut short by a hamstring injury sustained in April’s Premier League victory over Fulham. After undergoing surgery, Gabriel is now focused on recovery and is expected to return in time for pre-season ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.

Reports indicate his new deal will keep him at Arsenal until 2029, a testament to the club’s faith in his leadership and defensive quality.

Speaking about the extension, Gabriel shared his emotional connection to the club: “I came here as a young player, and after almost five years, I’ve grown so much. I’m incredibly proud to continue this journey. Arsenal means everything to me—my family loves the club, the fans, my teammates, and this stadium. Now, I want to win trophies here.”

His heartfelt message to supporters—“We continue together for the future”—will resonate with fans eager to see him back in action as Arsenal push for silverware in the coming seasons.
