Arsenal are against selling France defender of Cameroonian descent William Saliba in the summer transfer window.
Sources close to the club have indicated that the Gunners want to do everything to stop the centre-back from signing for Real Madrid.
This comes after reports indicated that the Spanish giants are already in contact with Saliba’s representative over the possibility of joining the team.
In a response, Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta has commenced talks to extend William Saliba’s contract.
The London-based club regards Saliba as a key asset to the team and does not want to lose him at the moment.
The highly-rated defender is currently under contract with Arsenal until June 2027.
Arsenal now want to extend the deal to 2030, as part of efforts to ward off any interest.
Despite the efforts of Arsenal, William Saliba is said to be open to the move to Real Madrid this summer, deeming it as a huge opportunity to take his career to the next level.
