The Paris giants are now planning another ambitious recruitment drive, and Gabriel is believed to be high on their list of targets.

The centre-back has become one of Arsenal’s most dependable performers since arriving in North London in 2020, making over 250 appearances for the Gunners, according to Transfermarkt stats.

Now, PSG appear ready to test Arsenal’s resolve with an offer built around elite wages and a major transfer package for the Brazilian, who boasts 24 goals for Arsenal.

PSG willing to offer Gabriel huge salary

According to SportsBoom via GMS, PSG are prepared to make Gabriel one of the best-paid defenders in the game if he agrees to move to France.

The Ligue 1 champions are said to be ready to offer a salary designed to make any rejection extremely difficult.

According to SportsBoom, the club see Gabriel as the ideal addition to provide strength, aerial dominance, and leadership at the heart of defence.

PSG’s recruitment strategy has evolved in recent years, focusing more on balance and long-term team building rather than only attacking superstars. Bringing in a proven Premier League defender would fit that approach perfectly.

Will Arsenal let Gabriel leave for PSG?

Arsenal are unlikely to welcome any approach lightly. Gabriel is regarded as one of the pillars of Arteta’s squad and forms a formidable partnership with William Saliba.

Together, the pair are widely considered one of the strongest centre-back duos in the Premier League.

Losing the former Lille center-back would represent a major sporting blow to Mikel Arteta's side, especially as Arsenal continue to chase domestic and European success.

The Gunners are expected to resist strongly, but PSG’s financial power could create a difficult situation if the 28-year-old star is seriously tempted.
