Real Madrid Eyeing William Saliba as Summer Transfer Target
In a recent press conference, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti discussed the club’s summer transfer plans, emphasizing their commitment to strengthening the squad while avoiding mention of specific targets.
Among the players linked to Los Blancos is Arsenal’s standout central defender, William Saliba. The 23-year-old has been a key figure in Arsenal’s defense, earning back-to-back inclusions in the Premier League Team of the Season. His performances have reportedly put him at the top of Real Madrid’s defensive wishlist, with the club prepared to make a record-breaking offer that could make him the most expensive defender in history.
Will Arsenal Let Saliba Go?
Despite Madrid’s interest, Saliba remains under contract with Arsenal until 2027, having signed a renewal in July 2023. Sources close to the player suggest he is happy at the Emirates and fully committed to Arsenal’s project. However, with Real Madrid willing to test Arsenal’s resolve with a massive bid, the situation could evolve as the transfer window approaches.
When asked about potential signings, Ancelotti remained tight-lipped, stating:
“We are always looking to improve the team, but I won’t discuss players who are not part of our squad.”
As the summer window nears, the football world will closely monitor whether Madrid can lure Saliba away from Arsenal or if the Gunners will stand firm and retain their defensive leader.
