William Saliba has made it clear he wants to join Real Madrid, stating, “I know Arsenal fans might not be happy with this choice, but no player would pass up this chance.” He has set demands for Arteta as he looks to move to the Spanish club by January if those demands aren’t met. Real Madrid scouts highly regard Saliba, who has become essential to Mikel Arteta’s system, making him an ideal replacement for the club’s aging defense due to his poise, ball skills, and strong presence. Despite Real Madrid’s financial power and the allure of trophies, Arsenal has remained firm.
Recently, Saliba’s contract with Arsenal was extended, reinforcing his long-term future in North London. Currently, his future seems secure, even with Arsenal’s history of selling top players to elite teams. His potential transfer is seen as a positive for Arsenal fans. Romano also mentioned, “There’s no truth to the rumor that Paris Saint-Germain is planning a significant offer for Saliba at this time,” adding that his exceptional talent will always be appreciated.
