Real Madrid Pursues Arsenal Defender William Saliba Amid Transfer Talks

Spanish club Real Madrid has been in discussions for several weeks with representatives of English Arsenal’s central defender William Saliba regarding a potential transfer, according to L’Equipe.

The report states that Saliba is a specific and primary target for the «Los Blancos.» The club has been closely monitoring the player’s development for several seasons, and the transfer could take place either next summer or in the following year. Saliba’s current contract with Arsenal runs until the summer of 2027. It is reported that Arsenal has offered the defender an extension, but the club must persuade him that he can achieve trophy success there.

Transfermarkt values the 24-year-old William Saliba’s transfer fee at €80 million.
