Real Madrid Eye William Saliba as Next Summer’s Top Defensive Target

Real Madrid are reportedly keen on signing Arsenal’s star defender, William Saliba, as a key target for their defense in the upcoming summer transfer window. Despite the Spanish giants’ interest, Arsenal remain unfazed, confident that the French international will stay with them.

Saliba, who extended his contract with Arsenal in 2023, is flourishing under Mikel Arteta’s leadership and has become a vital player for the Gunners, who are competing at the highest levels. At 23, he is seen as a cornerstone of the club’s future, and Arsenal are not willing to entertain any transfer offers for him.

The center-back has always been passionate about Arsenal, idolizing Thierry Henry during his childhood. His commitment to the club, combined with his new contract, makes a move away highly unlikely.

While Real Madrid have also shown interest in Tottenham’s Cristian Romero, neither North London clubs seem eager to part with their top defensive talents.
