The recent elimination of Real Madrid from the UEFA Champions League has left a bitter taste among white fans, especially because the team was dreaming of retaining the European title won in Wembley the previous season. However, the club's offices had already anticipated that repeating such a feat would be complicated. Despite the setback, there is no room for lament at the Santiago Bernabéu, and the focus is already set forward with determination.

Florentino Pérez, the president of the club, maintains his focus on building a competitive and forward-looking team. In that sense, in the last few hours, a key move for the future has come to light: the Madrid leader has reached a verbal agreement with Arsenal for the French defender William Saliba.

Madrid will be the first if Arsenal eventually wants to sell Saliba

During the recent visit of the 'gunners' to the Spanish capital, both boards discussed various topics, including the name of the French defender. As reported on DefensaCentral, Arsenal informally committed to notify Real Madrid if they decide at any point to open the exit doors for the center-back, who is under contract until 2027. This way, the white team would have priority to assess their interest in going for his signing.

Although it is not a binding clause, this gesture allows Real Madrid to stay in the front row to secure one of the most promising defenders on the international scene. Saliba, who has been followed for some time by Juni Calafat, fits perfectly into the player profile sought by the club: young, talented, and with room to grow.
