Saliba, who has become an integral part of Mikel Arteta’s system at Arsenal, was highly regarded by Real Madrid scouts. His composure, ball-playing ability, and commanding presence in defense made him a prime candidate to replace the aging defensive core of the Spanish club.
Despite Real Madrid’s significant financial power and the promise of silverware, Arsenal was firm in their stance. The 23-year-old Frenchman had recently extended his contract with the Gunners, which further cemented his long-term future in North London.
Although Arsenal has a history of selling its big names to Europe’s best teams, Saliba’s future doesn’t appear to be a concern right now. Transfer of William Saliba: good news for Arsenal supporters “To be fair, there’s nothing in a rumour that Paris Saint-Germain could make a big offer for William Saliba’s services at this stage. Although his immense talent will always be appreciated,” Romano stated.
