Multiple sources have confirmed that Real Madrid have officially submitted a bid for Gabriel Magalhaes. The offer for the Arsenal defender had been speculated for a number of weeks, but represents the first concrete bid for the player. While negotiations continue, they are said to be progressing. Real Madrid continue discussions over the move, with no rival interest reported so far to complicate matters. Real Madrid's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.84 goals per game (21 in 25). Gabriel Magalhaes would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Alongside this, Arsenal are said to be exploring Jack Hinshelwood, Rayan Fofana and Ivan Fresneda with Real Madrid likewise connected to Daniel Svensson, Cristian Romero and Dominik Szoboszlai.
