Barcelona’s wish of signing Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhães is once again reported by the Spanish media today.

This time it’s outlet Fichajes who features a piece telling the three desires that manager Xavi have for the summer window, and the purchase of the Gunners’ player is one of them.

The report points out that following a good season with Arsenal, Gabriel drew Barcelona’s attention with the ‘promising future’ he has.

With people at Camp Nou now keen on his signing, it’s said an attempt is ‘surely’ on the way at the start of the summer transfer window.

Barcelona’s pursuit for Magalhães has been strongly reported since Sport broke on Tuesday a story about the interest in the player.

It’s been claimed that to afford the signing, the Catalan side may have to put some players on the table to convince Arsenal.

Updates from the local press then said the Brazilian was ‘receptive’ about the approach and now waits for the negotiations to develop.
