Real Madrid Target Arsenal’s William Saliba for Summer Transfer
Arsenal Defender Linked with a Mega-Money Move to Madrid
Arsenal centre-back William Saliba is reportedly eager to secure a dream transfer to Real Madrid this summer, according to recent reports. With Los Blancos planning to strengthen their defensive lineup, Saliba has emerged as a priority target for the Spanish giants.
Arsenal Demand Record-Breaking Fee for Saliba
Despite Madrid’s interest, Arsenal have no intention of selling Saliba cheaply. The Gunners have set a staggering £100m price tag on the French defender, a fee that would break the current world record for a defender, surpassing the £80m Manchester United paid for Harry Maguire in 2019.
Madrid Still Keen Despite High Price Tag
Reports suggest that Real Madrid remain undeterred by Arsenal’s demands and are in discussions with Saliba’s representatives to gauge the feasibility of a potential deal. The 23-year-old defender is said to view a move to Madrid as his ultimate dream, and the possibility of playing alongside close friend Kylian Mbappe only adds to the appeal of a transfer.
Saliba’s Commitment to Arsenal Raises Questions
While Saliba’s admiration for Real Madrid is well-documented, it is worth noting that just two months ago, he reaffirmed his commitment to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal project. The Frenchman expressed his happiness in North London, which leaves uncertainty over whether he would truly push for an exit this summer.
Will Arsenal Let Saliba Go?
With Arsenal competing for major titles, they see Saliba as a crucial part of their long-term plans. The Gunners’ high asking price is a clear signal that they will not part with their defensive star easily. The ball is now in Madrid’s court—will they break the bank for Saliba, or look elsewhere for reinforcements?
