eal Madrid have reportedly made contact with the entourage of Arsenal star William Saliba over a potential transfer to the Santiago Bernabeu.
After spending time out on loan in his native France at Saint-Etienne, Nice and Marseille, Saliba has since developed into one of the world’s best central defenders during his time at Arsenal under Mikel Arteta.
Since and including his man-of-the-match debut against Crystal Palace in the Premier League in August 2022, Saliba has made a total of 92 first-team appearances for the Gunners in all competitions, chipping in with five goals.
The 23-year-old, who has been named in the PFA Team of the Year in the last two seasons, has formed a formidable partnership in the heart of Arsenal’s defence with Gabriel Magalhaes, which has been key to the club’s rise towards the summit of the Premier League.
Saliba’s impressive form is understood to have caught the eye of Real Madrid, who are said to be scouting the France international ahead of potentially making a big-money move for the Gunners star.
