Real Madrid’s long-standing admiration for William Saliba has taken a new turn, but the Spanish giants are not willing to pay the steep price Arsenal have put on their French centre-back.
According to Fichajes, the Gunners have floated the idea of a blockbuster swap deal involving Aurelien Tchouameni, a proposal that has been swiftly rejected in Madrid.
There is no doubt that Saliba is a player who fits Real Madrid’s long-term vision. Strong, intelligent, and composed under pressure, the 24-year-old has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most consistent defenders.
At Real Madrid, his profile is seen as ideal to lead the post-Alaba generation.
