The sports management of Florentino Pérez has defined a unique priority for the summer: a rock capable of stabilizing a central line decimated by the relapse of Alaba and the suspension which threatens Rüdiger. Exit the exotic tracks, Real wants a young profile, already calibrated for the Champions League and … very expensive.
According to Marcait is William Saliba who appears at the top of the Merengue shortlist. The 23 -year -old Arsenal defender is increasing. And he turned off Haaland, Kane or Vinícius throughout the season. Better still: it has just eliminated Real in quarters of C1, despite a big blunder on the return, proof that it remains perfectible – and therefore perfectible in the white jersey.
The Casa Blanca is launching a raid at € 100 million for Saliba
Saliba would join an already royal French contingent: Mbappé, Camavong, Tchouaméni. His arrival would extend the Varane – Zidane tradition and allow Carlo Ancelotti (or his successor) to build the tricolor axis that Madrid has never really lost. Recruiters praise his clean recovery, his reading of the game and his speed – qualities absent since the serious injury of Alaba.
Defensive crisis? Real targets the French Wall which has extinguished Vinícius
Problem: the Marseille colossus is linked to the Gunners until 2027, without a release clause. Arsenal does not intend to weaken a project built on the Saliba – Gabriel hinge, especially after having tuned the final of C1. We are already talking about a rate greater than € 90 million to start the discussion, to which is added a framework of a framework comparable to that of Rüdiger.
Between a convalescent Alaba and an Rüdiger who is lost in unnecessary fights, Madrid knows that he needs a defensive boss. Saliba checks all the boxes and could cross a course under the Sun of Chamartín. It remains to convince Arsenal … and the player, who also dreams of marking the history of the Gunners. The standoff is just beginning.
