Arsenal is working hard to find an agreement with William Saliba so he can sign a new contract at the club.
The centre-back was one of their key men in this campaign, but his contract expires soon as he shines.
Arsenal wants Saliba to stay and knows his performance this term has attracted top clubs.
The Daily Mail’s latest update will worry them as they claim three unnamed clubs have enquired about the former Nice loanee.
This is Saliba’s first season at the club, even though they signed him in 2019 as one of the top young defensive talents around.
The Gunners will now have to accelerate their efforts to keep him at the Emirates beyond this term.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Saliba has been superb for us and we need to keep the defender beyond this season as he stars for us.
It is unthinkable that he will leave when he is in such great shape as one of the top youngest defenders in the world.
It remains unclear which club has the strongest interest, but we are also one of the best sides in the world and will play in the Champions League next season, so he can surely win some trophies with us soon.

Contract rebel 😂
@GB. I had the same reaction, “rebel”😂
All efforts should be accelerated before the summer to know where we stand with the kid.
This one won’t be as straight forward as Martinelli and Saka.
His earlier years of treatment at Arsenal and the piss pot load of money being touted by his entourage no doubt affecting any deal.
Now if the kid felt he was ready to play for Arsenal before going on loan he may well think he’s should be seen as a senior player and demanding that big pot, none of us can doubt his argument as we had never seen him played and make a mess of his self.
This is the third time I’m answering you on this very topic and again I say, let him demand his piss pot load of money. He deserves it.
And come to think of it, if he was English, he would have been called the best defender in the world by the English press and we won’t have any issues giving him that piss pot load of money he’s demanding
Okay okay Hope’s get that pot and everyone live happily after.
He is one of the best defenders on our team, one of the best young CB’s in the league, and world as well I would argue. Is it outrageous that he wants to be paid well? If Nketiah gets 100k to sit on the bench, what should Saliba get to start?
The contract also accounts for his performances in the next several years. so I would say that needs to be considered as well.
Lastly, how much would it cost to replace him with a CB of similar quality and years of possible service?
Agree entirely Durand.My only concern is that his relationship with Arteta may have been tarnished by the decision to send him on loan , but I hope he is mature enough to recognise that the Boss had his best interests in mind when he made that decision
While I do hope that was the boss’s intentions, I think it’s more likely that the boss wanted to do away with him as evident from the fact that a £50m defender of similar age was signed in his stead. Saliba is only in the team because that move by the boss went south and he proved himself (yet again) in France
I totally agree, three loans spells was too much. The last one originally was supposed to be to a Championship team, but this fell through. Arteta makes most calls, however on this one, it was a season too long.
Hopefully Saliba will understand how much he is loved at Arsenal. I personally believe with Saka he us our best player. Certainly one of the best centre half’s in the World!!
👍👍👍👍Durand, Grandad, dgr8xt and JG. It should be remembered that William Saliba was one of the transfers that Unai Emery had major say in. Mikel Arteta”s initial attiude to Saliba, may have been due to Saliba not being his selection.. Remember Arteta paid £50 million for Ben White, a CB now played as a fullback. It is hoped that Saliba’s experiences in his early years at Arsenal, particularly the refusal of Arsenal to allow him to play for his previous club St Etienne in a cup final (albeit given St Etienne’s refusal to meet Arsenal’s insurance requirements), do not colour his decision making.
I have an odd feeling that I may have seen Saliba in an Arsenal shirt for the last time.
His entourage and attitude reminds me so much of a certain Anelka.
I hope I’m wrong though
More fool him and his entourage then
I remember the Anelka situation and his multiple moves
Either WS is a fully paid up Arsenal man then he is off and we can do without him. No one is irreplaceable
Please we don’t need all these shenanigans right now, if he doesn’t want to stay let him leave now. We can arrange our team very well before next season commences. ATM, this present arsenal team is bigger than any player.
It would take up to £100m to replace him with a similar player of his age and quality. So the earlier we appease him, the better for us. If he was English, he would have been valued at £150m by the press. So be humble
👍 dgr8xt common sense.
Has made our team better,tbh, the same way Anelka and Nasir did. But with attitude issues ,nothing can settle matters not even 500k per week pay check.
