Real Madrid Target Arsenal Star William Saliba in Potential Record-Breaking Transfer

William Saliba To Real Madrid? The strong Arsenal team under Mikel Arteta contains talented players throughout its lineup helping the team achieve Premier League title contention once more.

The first-class performances of their best players have captured the attention of Real Madrid and other European powerhouse teams.

William Saliba stands out as Arsenal’s key figure since he has proven himself to be among the world’s leading defensive players.

Since his formal arrival at Arsenal in 2019, the French centre-back has played most of his career at the club during the last three seasons, and his impact has been significant.

Within his 23 years of age, Saliba stands as a defensive titan who Real Madrid apparently views as their number one summer transfer target.

Real Madrid Might Tempt William Saliba Away From Arsenal

During Arsenal’s clash against Aston Villa, TBR Football reported that Real Madrid’s scouts observed Saliba in September. Real Madrid has declared Saliba as their main target for the upcoming transfer period according to RMC Sport.

Arsenal intends to keep their defensive star and they will ask for a large sum that aims to prevent Carlo Ancelotti’s team from acquiring him.

Real Madrid will need to make a new all-time high defender-dedicated transfer if they want to secure Saliba. The current market value assessment from CIES Football Observatory indicates €101.8 million (£85m) as his worth thus establishing a new record.

Arsenal would pursue an exorbitant fee for Saliba because of his young age combined with his current skill level and team importance.

The rumours have not affected Arsenal’s bargaining strength. Arsenal maintains complete authority over their next moves concerning Saliba due to his contract spanning until 2027 summer.

Extending his contract further would serve as a wise decision to finally put all doubts regarding Saliba’s Arsenal future to rest. During this summer Real Madrid will attempt to negotiate with Arsenal while facing uncertainty about the Gunners’ contractual position.
