Florentino Pérez returned from London with a fixed idea: William Saliba must wear white. Despite the tough blow suffered by Real Madrid in the first leg of the quarterfinals against Arsenal, where the English team dominated the Merengues, the Madrid president found a reason to be excited: the French center-back was the standout leader of the "gunner" defense and left such a powerful impression that it has ignited the club's desire to pursue his signing in the upcoming summer transfer window.

Madrid's defense needs a new cornerstone. With David Alaba and Antonio Rüdiger reaching the final stages of their careers, the White Club knows it must rejuvenate the center of its defense with a profile that offers immediate guarantees but also room for growth. In this sense, Saliba embodies the ideal profile: young, imposing, tactically astute, with measured aggressiveness, and a clean build-up play from the back that fits Ancelotti's style of play.

Real Madrid will return for Saliba's signing

The 24-year-old Frenchman is under contract with Arsenal until 2027 and is valued at around 100 million euros. It won't be a straightforward deal, but at Valdebebas, they are already plotting the course to entice the player and initiate negotiations with the London club. His performance this season has been outstanding, propelling him into the elite circle of European center-backs, so Madrid's interest comes as no surprise.

In Chamartín, he is seen as a strategic bet: a leader for the next decade. With Florentino determined, William Saliba's name has become a top priority on the club's agenda. And if the Real Madrid president has fallen in love with his game, everything points to a lively summer in the Spanish capital.
