PSG and Manchester City have contacted Gabriel Magalhaes’ representatives about a possible deal, despite Arsenal being on the verge of signing him, it is reported.

The Gunners agreed a £22million fee earlier this week, and were set to snap the Lille centre-back up on a five-year deal.

However, the Brazilian has proved to be in demand, with a number of Europe’s elite clubs trying to swoop in, according to Sky Sports journalist Kaveh Solhekol on Twitter.
