Real Madrid is reportedly eyeing Arsenal's standout defender William Saliba as a top priority for the upcoming summer transfer window. Despite this interest, Arsenal remains confident in retaining the French international, who extended his contract in 2023. Saliba has thrived under Mikel Arteta's management, becoming a critical figure in the Gunners' defense as they compete at the top levels of football.
At 23, Saliba is seen as a central part of Arsenal's future, and the club is unlikely to entertain offers for him. Saliba's long-standing passion for Arsenal, fueled by his admiration for Thierry Henry, further solidifies his commitment to the club.
Although Real Madrid has also been linked with Tottenham’s Cristian Romero, both North London clubs appear reluctant to part with their key defensive players.
