Real Madrid are reportedly interested in acquiring Arsenal defender William Saliba as they aim to enhance their defensive lineup.
According to sources from SPORT, the La Liga giants have been monitoring the French international’s performances and consider him a top target for the upcoming transfer window.
Despite Real Madrid’s interest, Arsenal is adamant about keeping Saliba, who has a Cameroonian mother, viewing him as an integral part of their squad.
However, with his current market value estimated at around €80 million, the landscape may shift as the summer transfer window approaches.
Reports indicate that Real Madrid has initiated discussions with Saliba’s representatives, and early feedback from these talks has been encouraging.
The club is expected to present a substantial offer, potentially exceeding €100 million. If successful, this transfer would break the record for the most expensive defender in football history.
As both clubs navigate this situation, Saliba’s future remains uncertain, but the prospect of a high-stakes transfer looms large, particularly if he continues to perform at a high level for Arsenal in the months ahead.
