rsenal have confirmed defender Gabriel Magalhães has signed a new contract keeping him at the club until June 2029.
The 26-year-old Brazilian centre-back has committed his future to the Gunners, ending speculation about his long-term plans at the Emirates Stadium.
Speaking about the new deal, Gabriel said: “I love this club, I love the supporters, my teammates, stadium. I’m so proud and thank you for the support. We continue together for the future.”
Gabriel joined Arsenal from Lille in 2020 for £27 million. Since his arrival, he has made over 150 appearances for the club and established himself as a first-team regular under manager Mikel Arteta.
The defender has formed a strong partnership with William Saliba at the heart of Arsenal’s defence. Together, they helped Arsenal finish second in the Premier League in the 2022-23 season and maintain their position as top-four contenders.
The new contract extends Gabriel’s stay at Arsenal by several years beyond his previous deal. At 26, the Brazilian is entering his prime years as a centre-back.
Gabriel has been a consistent performer for Arsenal, playing in both the Premier League and Champions League. His aerial ability and defensive consistency have made him a key player in Arteta’s system.
The contract extension provides Arsenal with defensive stability for the coming seasons. Gabriel’s commitment also signals the club’s intent to keep their core players as they continue building their squad.
Arsenal supporters can expect to see Gabriel continue as a central figure in the team’s defensive setup through the remainder of the decade.
