Real Madrid suffer a setback in their quest for defensive reinforcements with William Saliba, considered one of the best central defenders in Europe. According to the Daily Express, neither the French player nor Arsenal are willing to give in to the Spanish club’s advances, with Saliba under contract with the Gunners until 2027.
Arsenal lock down their defensive gem
Saliba, whose partnership with Gabriel Magalhães forms a pillar of Arsenal’s Premier League project, is vital in the quest for the title. Real Madrid, which seeks to anticipate the post-Antonio Rüdiger era, saw Saliba as a long-term solution to solidify its defense. However, Arsenal remains firm: the club does not plan to sell its flagship defender, thus reinforcing its desire to compete sustainably with the best European clubs.
