TRANSFER BATTLE✅✅: “He’s not going anywhere, even £200 million won’t secure his transfer,” Arteta warns Real Madrid, as Ancelotti eyes Arsenal’s top player.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has issued a stern warning to Real Madrid regarding William Saliba. The Gunners, who are eager to build on their strong performance last season after narrowly missing out on the Premier League title, are focused on strengthening their squad rather than selling one of their most valuable players.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is also looking to bolster their central defense this summer. While their primary target is LOSC Lille’s Leny Yoro, his preference to join Real Madrid means PSG must consider other alternatives. Real Madrid is interested in Yoro as well, but only if the price is right. If Lille stands firm, Madrid might explore other options to enhance their center-back position.
CaughtOffside reports that both Real Madrid and PSG are interested in Arsenal defender William Saliba during this summer’s transfer window. However, Arsenal has made it clear that they have no intention of selling the player.
Saliba, who has delivered exceptional performances for Arsenal in recent years, recently signed a new long-term contract with the club, making it highly improbable that they would consider parting with him. Arteta’s team came very close to winning the league last season, and they believe a successful transfer window this summer will help them compete for the title in the 2024-25 season.
Saliba fits the profile of the young, French defender that PSG is seeking. However, there is a potential issue with PSG pursuing him, as he has previously played for Olympique de Marseille. Given the complications that arose during the Christophe Galtier experiment, PSG might want to avoid reigniting that drama.
