Arsenal have grown increasingly aware of the continued reports linking William Saliba with a move to Real Madrid, and the club is now keen to put an end to the speculation. The Gunners are looking to secure the long-term future of one of their most valuable assets, recognising the Frenchman’s importance to their project.
Saliba has emerged as one of the most accomplished centre-backs in European football and remains central to Arsenal’s recent resurgence. Since becoming a regular in the starting eleven, he has delivered consistently high-level performances, attracting widespread praise for his composure, intelligence and defensive strength.
Real Madrid’s Interest Remains Persistent
Saliba’s reputation has not gone unnoticed by Real Madrid, who have reportedly tracked him over the last two seasons. The Spanish giants, known for their dominance in the Champions League, often pursue the very best talents in the game. With a history of securing elite-level signings, their interest in Saliba reflects the defender’s stature in world football.
The difficulty for any club lies in retaining top players when Real Madrid expresses interest, as the allure of joining such a decorated side can be strong. Saliba would face a difficult decision should Madrid firm up their interest, and Arsenal appear determined to make sure that scenario does not arise.
Arsenal Move to Secure Saliba’s Future
As reported by Football Insider, Arsenal have opened discussions over a new contract for Saliba despite his current deal running until 2027. The aim is to reaffirm their commitment to him and to deter any approaches from Madrid or other interested clubs by tying him down for even longer.
This proactive stance signals Arsenal’s intent to maintain the core of their squad and to compete consistently at the top level. Saliba has become a cornerstone of their defence, and the club recognises that allowing uncertainty to linger around his future could prove disruptive.
Securing Saliba’s services well beyond 2027 would send a strong message about Arsenal’s ambitions. With the Frenchman widely regarded as one of the world’s best defenders, keeping him at the Emirates must remain a top priority for the Gunners.

Berta is making his presence felt, been the Sporting director at the baby brother of the cemetery of talents, The Italian would have known too well it’s only a matter of time before the Bernabeu giant come calling.
The irony we are more like the cemmentery of talents then Real Madrid
How so please?
You just seem to enjoy saying negative things about the club and manager.
It’s your right anyway.
Well no mate , you can’t call Real Madrid a cemmentery of talents then not expect someone not to point out that their youngsters have been more successful then ours since Arteta was manager
Say a Bellngham vs a Saka
If he’s at a cemmentery of talents then what are we ?
I do it when a Spurs fan laughs at us for being bottlers ….I also point to the irony
I don’t mind banter but it has to make sense
‘ Just too many fish in the pond’
With so many top tier experience and talented players , It is inevitable many will find it difficult to make the team especially young and upcoming stars.
They will ultimately falls by the wayside
Yeah can you name 5 of them since Arteta who you think has been a great youngster who has wasted career at Real ?
Because we seen more like this cemmentery of talents
But Dan, haven’t I broken down this nicely for you before.🙂
So let me tickle your memory.
Look no further than the legendary Samuel Eto, did you know he was at the cemetery of talents before he move on and realized his dream elsewhere.
‘Because we seems more like this cemetery of talents ‘
Really Dan ? aren’t we famous and known around the world as the club that gives kids a chance’ ?
We were more known for developing players and let them slip through our fingers
Real Madrid are more famous mate
And under Arteta , our youngsters have not done what theirs have done
Can you tell me at Arsenal who has done better then
Bellingham , Vinicus or Rodrigo?
Because remember they are the cemmentery of talents lol
I asked since Arteta has been at Arsenal mate
Eto was decades ago
By your definition yes we have had several youngsters who had to leave us to win elsewhere
I would say more players go to Real Madrid to succeed then Arsenal
Arsenal can not be teased so easily with money to part way with WS. Gone are the days of Arsene Wenger who was selling his best players to fund Emirate Stadium loan repayments. Williams Saliba is a Legend in the making. Gunners 4 Life.
Arsenal need not to worry, good player are in their club, let go anyone who want to go, keep anyone who want to stay.. Arsenal have a plenty of star player in the making in their hand.. just have fun and keep playing to win
Don’t be like M.U, Real Madrid, Chelsea and many more clubs outthere.. got so many superstar, but bad result. Plenty of good player out there, but they preferred to stay with that club because of the club names.. pretty sad but that what it is.
