Arsenal are facing a huge transfer window this summer after news that Cristiano Ronaldo's Al-Nassr are preparing a bid for centre-back Gabriel.

Newcastle's Alexander Isak is seen as Mikel Arteta's top choice for a new striker, while Arsenal also made a late move for Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and he will be a target on their shortlist too.

But the club are also facing a difficult situation within their squad and the futures of key players amid interest in Gabriel from the Middle East.



According to talkSport, Ronaldo's side are pushing to land the Brazilian and are prepared to pay him up to £16million a year.

It's claimed that representatives of Al-Nassr have already reached out to Gabriel's team, which would give Arsenal a serious dilemma - given that the player will only have two years to run on his contract this summer.

Arsenal know they won't be able to match anywhere near the £16m a year that Saudi chiefs can offer.

Both players are in the same boat as Gabriel and see their contracts expire in 2027.

Arsenal won't want to risk getting into a similar situation to Liverpool with Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk and possibly lose the trio for nothing.

PSR regulations are hampering all Premier League clubs and Arsenal are no different.

The report concerning Gabriel claims Arsenal will hold out for around £100million.

Saudi clubs are hardly short on cash and that's unlikely to be a stumbling block for them.

You would therefore imagine the prospect of collecting £100m for a defender who could soon be out of contract would be tempting if it allows Arsenal to splash the cash on some much-needed firepower.

Arsenal have been in the title race for the last three seasons but have been overpowered by Manchester City and Liverpool on each occasion.
