Key Arsenal defender reportedly heading to the Bernabeu.
Following one of Arsenal’s most impressive European performances in recent history, it appears the club could now lose a crucial player to the very team they knocked out of the Champions League.
Few expected the Gunners to overcome Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, but their defensive resilience proved decisive. A commanding 3-0 victory at the Emirates, followed by a dramatic late winner at the Bernabeu, showed just how strong Arsenal have become.
However, despite still being contenders for the Champions League title, reports suggest that Real Madrid—who were eliminated by Arsenal—have reached an agreement to sign one of the Gunners’ top performers.
According to Spanish outlet Defensa Central, via Football365, the La Liga giants have identified William Saliba as their primary defensive target. While Arsenal are keen to keep the French centre-back, it’s understood they may be willing to negotiate if Saliba expresses a desire to move on.
