Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes has signed a new long-term contract to keep him at the club until 2029.
The Brazilian was already under contract until 2027, but this new agreement reflects its importance for the project of manager Mikel Arteta at Emirates Stadium.
Gabriel has been an important player for Arsenal since joining the club in a change of £ 27 million in 2020, making 210 appearances in all competitions.
“I arrived here as a young player and after almost five years I am very happy and learned a lot,” said Gabriel.
“I’m so proud of myself, it’s an amazing journey and I’m very happy to continue. I hope to win some trophies with this club, because I love this club and my family loves the club too.
“Arsenal is an amazing club and I’m very proud to sign a new contract. I love supporters, my teammates, I love this stadium. I’m so proud and thanks for all the support. We are still together for the future.”
Since 2022, he has formed a strong partnership with William Saliba at the Defense Center and proved to be a great threat of pieces.
Gabriel lost the final two months of the 2024-25 season with an injury to the tendon and his absence was deeply felt Arsenal gave up the race for the Premier League title and was defeated in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals by eventual Paris St-Germain winners.
Meanwhile, the Gunners expect to complete a deal for the middle -time -capitalist of Real Sociedad, Martin Zubimendi, and are working to sign a new striker.
