- William Saliba has been established as one of the best defenders in the world
- Real Madrid needs a great need for defensive reinforcement in the summer
- Listen now: Everything is starting! Does Premier League really need to look at goal celebrations?
According to the reports, Real Madrid has made the Arsenal Ombudsman William Saliba in his main summer transfer objective.
Saliba has established a reputation as one of the best defenders in the world in recent seasons and was included in the FIFA of 2024 the Best World XI.
It has been related to a future transfer to Madrid for some time and the whites are intensifying their search, according to RMC Sport.
It is no secret that Madrid needs reinforcements at the back and the report indicates that Saliba has all the qualities they are looking for.
However, the Gunners will pass a strong fight to keep it.
Saliba will have only two years left in his treatment in the Emirates for the summer, without a built -in option to extend it.
The Frenchman only signed the new contract last season, with a value of around £ 10 million per season.

RMC states that Arsenal considers him the best defender in world football and the price they would demand would see Saliba become the best paid defender in world football.
Saliba has been a Linchpin of the Arsenal background line since 2022 and played every minute of the 2023-24 campaign in the most stable defense of the Premier League.
This season has not been different and has developed a solid association with Gabriel.
Madrid has long admired Saliba, after being appointed as part of a group of suitors in the 2021-22 season while impressing in Marseille.
Madrid has not spent much money on a defender for years. His last important disbursement at the back was for Ferland Mendy de Leflet de Lyon in 2019, when they disbursed around £ 47 million.
They have succeeded in the free market that brings stars like Antonio Rudiger in Chelsea and David Alaba del Bayern Munich, and could be the same with Trent Alexander-Arnold this summer.
