Gabriel transfer decision coming this week

Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes is expected to decide his future this week, amid interest from Arsenal, Manchester United and Napoli.

The 22-year-old shone in Ligue 1 last season and Lille are now resigned to the fact they will lose him this summer.

The French club want to bank around £25million for the Brazilian and interest in him is high at the moment.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Napoli are all keen on Gabriel and Lille president Gerard Lopez expects his future to be sorted this week.

“We clearly told him what our expectations were, we spoke to a number of clubs, our expectations were met by a number of clubs and we have given him the time to decide,” Lopez told Sky Sports News on Sunday.

“It is going to be entirely his decision. We tend to try and steer our players in certain directions, but at the end of the day it’s the player’s decision.

“I know he is going to make a decision early next week.

“He is a super guy and a great football player and he wants to play, there has been a lot of interest but we have clearly decided to close the door to further clubs at this stage and let him choose.”
