Antonio Rudiger would like to recruit William Saliba to Real Madrid.

William Saliba has established himself as one of the best young defenders in the world. The Saint-Étienne academy graduate who joined the Gunners in the summer of 2019 has been a constant part of their defense over the last few seasons. He formed a reliable partnership with Gabriel Magalhães in defense and received widespread praise from pundits and former players.

While his contract with the north London club runs until the summer of 2027, several big clubs want to bring him. Real Madrid are one of the sides who have been linked with the 23-year-old and their defensive mainstay Antonio Rudiger was asked which defender he would like to sign in an interview.

Rudiger flirts with Saliba

He replied (h/t Fabrizio Romano): “I say William Saliba!“. “ I am very happy Militao! But there are so many games, so we would rotate, so having Saliba… that would be great. »

Rudiger and Militao are one of the best defensive duos in world football and the Germany international is very excited to play alongside the Brazil international. But he is aware that they lack depth in defense and that Saliba could be the ideal fit for their team.

Given the number of games a team like Real Madrid plays, Saliba’s signing will help them form a solid defensive rotation. With Rudiger and Alaba both past 30, the Arsenal star could be the best possible signing for Los Blancos.
