According to Marca, Madrid intensified his efforts to recruit the feeling of Bournemouth, Huijsen, also coveted by Chelsea and Liverpool, two giants of the Premier League. The media adds that the reigning Spanish champion could consider reducing his interest in the central defender of Arsenal, Saliba, whose price of 100 million euros is deemed too high for a transfer this summer.
In recent meetings, Madrid leaders concluded that they needed a new central defender for the next club World Cup and beyond.
Saliba too expensive
The most evoked name is that of Huijsen. Recently, it was reported that Real Madrid had sent recruiters to observe the Spanish international during the Bournemouth shock against Arsenal. Internally, the club estimates that the level of performance displayed by the 20 -year -old player, in a competition as demanding as the Premier League, is essential. His liberating clause of 50 million pounds sterling is deemed affordable compared to the amount requested by Arsenal for Saliba.
William Saliba moves away from Real
Apparently, Real Madrid does not wish to recruit Saliba this summer. He prefers to bet in the long term and wait for the end of the French contract, two years from his end. The plan is to contact him next summer for a significantly lower amount, or to recruit him free of charge in 2027. Faced with the Madrid strategy, the sports director of Arsenal, Andrea Berta, would have intensified his efforts to extend the contract of the French central defender.
Huijsen would arouse great interest from Chelsea and Liverpool, Premier League clubs, as well as Bayern Munich, giant of the Bundesliga.
