Shock in the ‘Saliba Case’: His Response to Real Madrid’s Interest Revealed, London on Edge

With Carlo Ancelotti concerned about the physical condition of Real Madrid’s defensive line, the club is expected to make several moves in the summer transfer market to reinforce its backline. Recently, it has been revealed that William Saliba, Arsenal’s defensive star and one of the best center-backs in the world, is a top target for Los Blancos ahead of next season.

Arsenal, however, has no intention of selling Saliba and has made it clear that Real Madrid would need to break the world record for the most expensive defender transfer in history. Currently, that record belongs to Harry Maguire, who moved from Leicester City to Manchester United for €80 million.

Real Madrid Closely Monitoring Saliba

Despite the hefty price tag, Real Madrid remains undeterred and is reportedly in talks with Saliba’s camp to assess the feasibility of a summer transfer. It is said that the Frenchman considers joining the Spanish giants as his ultimate dream, and the chance to reunite with his close friend Kylian Mbappé only increases the likelihood of him moving to the Santiago Bernabéu.

According to Turkish journalist and transfer expert Ekrem Konur, Real Madrid is determined to push for Saliba’s signing. If the club submits an official bid, the French defender would accept without hesitation.

A Signing That Could Change Everything

William Saliba’s arrival at Real Madrid would be a major event in both Spanish and European football. The world’s biggest club would be reinforcing its squad with a center-back who is currently among the top three in the world.

At just 23 years old, Saliba would bring outstanding defensive quality, composure in ball distribution, and remarkable physical dominance to a Real Madrid side that would secure a world-class defender for years to come.
