Real Madrid have identified William Saliba as their priority for the summer of 2025, but Arsenal do not intend to let him go so easily. Saliba, well integrated into Arsenal where he is under contract until 2027, benefits from the confidence of the London club, ready to discuss an extension to secure its flagship defender. However, the temptation of Real Madrid and the prospect of playing in an ambitious project attracts the Frenchman.
A future offer for Saliba in preparation at Real Madrid
For Real Madrid, the reinforcement of Saliba is strategic in the face of recurring injuries to its central defenders, including Militao. If Arsenal wishes to extend it, Saliba remains attentive to Madrid’s interest, seeing this possible transfer as a big challenge to take on. Real, for its part, could accelerate the process, especially if the unavailability in defense continues, perhaps precipitating the arrival of Saliba in the Spanish capital.
