“Real Madrid Targets William Saliba as Top Priority for Blockbuster 2025 Summer Transfer”
According to Le10Sport, Real Madrid has set their sights on Arsenal’s William Saliba as their top target for the 2025 summer transfer window. The La Liga giants are eager to strengthen their defense, and the 23-year-old center-back has become a priority for Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
Since joining Arsenal in 2019, Saliba has developed into one of football’s most promising young defenders, following successful loan stints at Saint-Etienne, Nice, and Marseille. His strong performances have cemented his role as a key figure in Mikel Arteta’s team, making him a central part of the squad.
Despite having more than two years left on his contract, Saliba’s future at Arsenal remains uncertain, especially with Real Madrid intensifying their interest. After previously pursuing Leny Yoro without success, the Spanish club has now shifted focus to Saliba, who could potentially form a partnership with Eder Militao at the back.
Real Madrid’s management has reportedly reached out to Saliba’s camp to communicate their interest. While Arsenal is keen to keep hold of the French defender, they could face a tough challenge from Madrid, particularly given Saliba’s significant £190,000 per week salary. Ancelotti’s side is ready to make a strong effort to secure him as they aim to reinforce their defense for the future.
