Arsenal has offered a new contract to France international defender William Saliba, but the 24-year-old is reportedly “dreaming” of a move to Real Madrid.
Saliba has been torn over whether to sign a fresh deal at the Emirates Stadium, despite the Gunners’ healthy offer. With two years left on his current contract, Saliba is weighing his options and considering a potential transfer to the Spanish giants.
Real Madrid has been linked to several high-profile free transfers in recent years, including Kylian Mbappe, Antonio Rudiger, and David Alaba. The club’s ability to attract top talent without paying a transfer fee has been impressive, and Saliba may be tempted to join their ranks when his contract expires.
Arsenal, however, is eager to secure Saliba’s future and has opened contract talks with the defender earlier this summer. Mikel Arteta and his colleagues are keen to get a quick response from Saliba to avoid any potential transfer saga.
The Gunners have invested heavily in Saliba’s development, and his partnership with Gabriel Magalhaes has formed one of the strongest central defense partnerships in the Premier League.
Saliba’s potential departure would be a significant blow to Arsenal’s defensive lineup, but the club has been bolstering its squad with new signings. Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga have already arrived, and deals for Christian Norgaard and Viktor Gyokeres are reportedly edging closer.
The uncertainty surrounding Saliba’s future has raised questions about his commitment to Arsenal. Despite having two years left on his contract, Saliba may still choose to leave the club if he decides to pursue a new challenge with Real Madrid.
The situation will be closely monitored by Arsenal fans and the media, with the club hoping to resolve the issue quickly.
As the transfer window heats up, Saliba’s decision will have significant implications for both Arsenal and Real Madrid. If he chooses to stay with the Gunners, he will be a key player in their pursuit of major honors.
However, if he decides to join Real Madrid, he will be joining a club with a rich history of success in European competitions.
