Premier League
Real Madrid is still keeping William Saliba from Arsenal on their radar as the top priority to strengthen their center-back position in the upcoming summer transfer market. Florentino Pérez's main desire is to continue rejuvenating the squad and building a dream team for the next decade.
The French center-back, who has proven to be crucial in Mikel Arteta's defensive setup at the Emirates Stadium, has become the main target for Real Madrid to enhance their defensive rotation for the next season. Despite exploring other options, such as the failed attempt to sign Leny Yoro, who eventually joined Manchester United, Carlo Ancelotti's team is closely monitoring Saliba.
With several names on their list, like Castello Lukeba, Jorrel Hato, and Vitor Reis, the Madrid board is considering the possibility of completing an early deal, possibly even in the winter transfer window. However, Saliba is the true gem they covet, so they are willing to wait until summer to secure his transfer. The Frenchman would be the cherry on top for a rotation that already includes good center-backs (Antonio Rüdiger, Eder Militao, and David Alaba), but has suffered from injuries in recent years.
Real Madrid dreams of signing Saliba
Real Madrid is prepared to make a significant effort to secure one of the best center-backs in European football, which would involve a substantial investment both in terms of transfer fee and salary.
At just 23 years old, Saliba has excelled in the Premier League, showcasing his strength in individual duels and aggression in anticipation, qualities that have caught the eye of the white team. This has also helped him establish himself as a starter for the French national team under Didier Deschamps, having played 23 matches.
PSG is another club showing interest in signing him, which won't be easy as Arsenal has no intention of letting him go in the short term. His contract runs until the summer of 2027, with a price tag around 80 million euros.
