Arsenal is reportedly facing a significant offer from Real Madrid for defender William Saliba, amidst ongoing contract negotiations. Real Madrid’s bid includes a substantial sum of £79 million plus two players: Arda Güler (on loan) and Raúl Asensio. While Arsenal is seriously considering this lucrative offer, they are also working hard to secure Saliba with a new contract, indicating their strong desire to keep the young star. The Gunners have made significant progress in their summer transfer window, adding several players to their squad, but also have some players, such as Reiss Nelson, Sambi Lokonga and Fabio Vieira, who may be moved on to trim the roster. Saliba himself has expressed optimism regarding a new contract, stating “Hopefully soon.” This situation adds intrigue to the ongoing transfer saga and highlights the ambition of both clubs involved. The possibility of losing Saliba would be a major blow to Arsenal’s defensive strength. However, the financial implications and player additions make this offer from Real Madrid a compelling consideration.
