Arsenal man William Saliba is on the transfer wishlist of Atletico Madrid and they continue to monitor the impressive Frenchman.
Saliba had to wait for his chance to play regularly for Arsenal after signing for them in 2019.
He spent most of the next three seasons away on loan at different clubs before returning this term.
His performances at the Emirates have been solid, which is one of the reasons Arsenal is at the top of the league table.
The club wants to keep him long-term and has offered him a contract extension.
They expect him to sign on the dotted lines and extend his time with them, but that hasn’t stopped other clubs from considering a move for him.
A report on Fichajes reveals the defender is one of the players Atletico is considering to bolster their squad.
The Spanish side wants to revolutionise their team and they will bolster several parts of the squad.
They believe Saliba will make their defence much more robust than it is now.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Saliba has been solid for us and he enjoys the privilege of being the first choice at the Emirates.
While other clubs will be interested in a move for him, we expect him to stay loyal to us, considering that we are having a solid season and seem destined for greatness.
No surprise he has the eyes of major clubs on him, he is quite the young player. His stock will continue to rise, and the interest in him will become commonplace.
If and when Real Madrid comes knocking I may be concerned based on that club’s prestige, but not too ruffled by AM. Saliba has expressed several times his feelings towards Arsenal, and he apparently wants to be here for a while still. Trophies will matter, and CL as well, so they will be a major factor in keeping a talent like him at the club.
Saliba is our most consistent and reliable defender. We must keep him at all costs.
LOL Atletico don’t have enough money for his transfer
Except for Real Madrid ,Spanish clubs are done for for the foreseeable.
Barca are a shadow of a club without all that government money and Atletico Madrid are a waste of a club with Simeone in charge .
Only reason for top players to move there is for the country .
We ain’t selling Saliba at all. He is our good defender we rely on for now and we can’t afford to lose him.
Hi ! ”Gunners”, well ”Slow and Steady” they say win d race, so ”Saliba” should just calm down and play for ”Arsenal” at least for two or more season before he could decides where to head to, he has one advantage, age is still on his side
Today every team thinks every Arsenal player should leave the team n join their team, what they forget is that these crop of players have been patiently been groomed n built till this moment. For now we gunners will take no offence since we also buy from other teams, but iam wondering how a team that could not take care of Thomas Partey who comes from my country can even dare set an eye on a player like Saliva, hmm, I dare say in the next this Arsenal team will win trophies even Mbape will beg to sign for Arsenal, like Martillini said to the press iam happy I want to stay, give me a pen, note he did not ask for money
This all noise, because Arsenal have given him a new contract yet.
I have said this before that neither Saliba nor Saka will sign a new contract until after the world cup, when they expect their value will be much higher.
I said Arsenal should have offered both of them $250,000 per week and got a new contract signed weeks ago
I hope I am wrong, but I fear Arsenal will regret not doing that.
