Real Madrid tracking Franco-Cameroonian defender Williams Saliba

Real Madrid are keeping an eye on France international of Cameroonian descent Williams Saliba, whose future at Arsenal hangs in the balance.

Saliba’s current contract with the London-based club is expected to elapse in the summer of 2027, and has yet to sign a new deal for the Gunners, sparking speculations about his future at the club.

The Gunners are bent on keeping the highly-rated France defender, offering him a new five-year contract extension. But Real Madrid are expected to enter the race for the signature of Saliba.

The record Champions League holders are closely monitoring the situation surrounding Saliba, with his current contract expiring two years’ time.

Real Madrid are desperate to lure Saliba to the Santiago Bernabéu, but hopes to secure his signing for a lower transfer fee.

Meanwhile, the Premier League giants has no intention of allowing Saliba to enter the final months of his contract next summer, prompting new contract offer for the rock-solid defender.

Talks are reportedly underway between all parties. Arsenal would be keen for a quick resolution, given major European clubs are monitoring Saliba’s situation, including Real Madrid.
