The Grand Prix winner is currently focused on his ongoing campaign with his current team. Although he has not confirmed any such claims, Gasly would undoubtedly be interested in securing a seat with Mercedes.
Gasly will give his all this season in the hopes of joining the team at Brackley. However, there are numerous contenders vying for a spot with Mercedes, including other drivers. The final decision regarding who will secure a place with the German manufacturer will be revealed at a later date.
