Still disputed after the Derby against Atlético (1-1), Saturday evening in Liga, the association between Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jr, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham is not the only puzzle for Carlo Ancelotti. For several months, the Real Madrid coach must also tinker in defense. The fault of the long -term injuries of David Alaba, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal, joined at the infirmary by Antonio Rüdiger.
To gain robustness and reliability, Merengues leaders would have set out to recruit a new French international. After Kylian Mbappé, Eduardo Camavong, Aurélien Tchouamed and Ferland Mendy, the White House would like to enlist William Saliba next summer. The Roc d'Arsenal (23 years old) would even be erected as a “top priority” by the Spanish club, according to information from RMC Sport.
A transfer to 90 million euros minimum for Real Madrid
The destination could obviously be tempting for the native of Bondy, but the Gunners are for the moment in a position of strength since his contract currently runs until June 2027. The London staff would still be ready to consider the Option of a sale, but not at any cost, the Blues player being valued up to 80 million euros by the specialized TransferMarkt site.
To agree to give in the former Stéphanois to the Madrid giant, the current second of the Premier League would wait for a check that would make him the most expensive defender in history. Or more than 90 million euros. The record in this area is actually held by Josko Gvardiol, who cost this sum to Manchester City in August 2023. If he really wants William Saliba, Real Madrid therefore knows what to stick to.
