Real Madrid are reportedly planning a move for Arsenal star defender William Saliba as part of their long-term transfer strategy.
Known for avoiding significant signings during the January window, the Spanish giants are preparing for a busy summer in 2025.
Los Blancos are prioritizing defensive reinforcements, with Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alphonso Davies as key targets for the full-back positions. However, Saliba has become a top option to strengthen the center of their defense.
According to Footmercato, Real Madrid are closely monitoring the 23-year-old’s situation at Arsenal. Saliba, a vital player for the Gunners, is contracted until 2027, but if he decides against extending his deal this summer, Arsenal may reconsider their position. His current market value is estimated at €80 million. Saliba’s future will likely be a major talking point as Real Madrid prepare to compete for one of Europe’s most highly rated young defenders.
