Rumors circulated on Saliba with Real Madrid for much of last year, while the Gunners are trying to renew his contract.
The renewal has caused a lot of ink to flow, the sports director of Arsenal having made a new offer to him this summer. In addition, in recent months, Real Madrid has been more associated with Ibrahima Konaté de Liverpool, whose contract expires next summer.
Friday, new rumors concerning the interest of Real Madrid for the French defender emerged in the Spanish capital. Diario AS assures that Real monitors it very closely and remains very interested in the 24 -year -old. His contract expires in 2027, and Madrid could therefore seek to conclude a reduced price agreement with Arsenal in the next two years. Konaté is perceived as the cheapest option, seeking to strengthen a defense dedicated to losing David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger next summer. The message addressed to Saliba is however clear: if he renews his contract, the interest of Real Madrid will fly away.
Saliba remains a target for Real Madrid.

This information appeared on Friday evening and, less than two hours later, Indykaila warned that the Saliba agents had asked for an urgent meeting with Arsenal concerning their contractual negotiations. It would seem that they will require more money to sign a new contract with Arsenal.
The Merengues are looking for a long -term partner for Dean Huijsen and, in the absence of Alaba and Militao, should recruit another central defender next summer. Saliba is the cornerstone of Arsenal's defense, but he was put forward as an exceptional central defender.
