Arsenal’s stance as Real Madrid identify William Saliba as next major transfer target

Arsenal are not concerned by Real Madrid’s interest in William Saliba, with the Gunners confident the Frenchman will remain at the club for the foreseeable future.

Real Madrid have reportedly identified Saliba as a key target for next summer’s transfer window as they look to bolster Carlo Ancelotti’s defence.

However, Saliba signed a lucrative four-year contract with the north London club in 2023 and is thriving under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, with Arsenal now competing on all fronts.

The 23-year-old is seen as an integral part of the team and Arsenal have no intention of considering any future transfer offers, should they come in.

Furthermore, Saliba is a self-proclaimed Arsenal fan, having fallen in love with the club as a child when he idolised legendary striker Thierry Henry.

Real Madrid are also fans of Tottenham vice-captain Cristian Romero, but Spurs have no desire to sell their World Cup winner.

Romero still has over two-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract, which does not include a release clause, contrary to reports in Argentina.
