Real Madrid remains firm in its goal of strengthening the center of defense, an area that has raised concerns throughout the season due to injuries. Although Carlo Ancelotti has managed to stabilize the situation, the lack of substitutes has been evident, leading the club to activate the search for a reliable center-back.

Among the names considered by the sports management, William Saliba stands out strongly. The Arsenal defender, currently valued at around 80 million euros, is a key piece of the London team and has a contract until 2027. His addition would imply a significant financial outlay, but at Valdebebas, they believe that the French international would fit perfectly into the medium and long-term project.

Mbappé has asked for his signing with Real Madrid

The interest in Saliba is not new but has gained greater relevance in recent months, especially due to the close friendship he maintains with Kylian Mbappé, the dazzling signing of the white team. According to reports from DefensaCentral, the forward has expressed to the board his desire to share the dressing room with the defender, which could facilitate negotiations.

Despite the high cost involved in his signing, Real Madrid would be willing to follow a strategy similar to the one used with Mbappé: seducing the player with the sports project and convincing him that his future is at the Santiago Bernabéu. The underlying idea is to sign him at no cost in 2027, although they do not rule out making a reduced offer in 2026 if the player does not renew with Arsenal.
