Arsenal have offered William Saliba a contract extension, but the 24-year-old defender is reportedly tempted by a move to Real Madrid. With two years left on his current deal, Saliba is yet to decide. Arsenal want a quick response to avoid a transfer saga, while Real Madrid is eyeing a potential free transfer.
After the 2024-25 season brought Arsenal close to major silverware, the club is now working to secure its key players for the future. Centre-back William Saliba, regarded as one of the best defenders in the Premier League, has been offered a contract extension by the Gunners. His current deal runs until 2027, but Arsenal want a quick response to avoid prolonged transfer drama.
Despite Arsenal’s attractive proposal, the 24-year-old French international reportedly dreams of a move to Real Madrid. According to Le 10 Sport, Saliba is tempted by the idea of joining the Spanish giants, who have previously signed stars like Kylian Mbappe, David Alaba, and Antonio Rudiger on free transfers. Saliba, alongside Gabriel Magalhaes, has formed a rock-solid defensive pairing, contributing to Arsenal’s strong set-piece presence. However, with Real Madrid eyeing a future move, the situation has become complicated.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is keen to keep his squad intact, especially with new signings like Martin Zubimendi and Kepa Arrizabalaga already secured. The club is also targeting Christian Norgaard and Viktor Gyokeres to further strengthen the side. Saliba’s decision will be pivotal, as it could determine whether Arsenal’s defensive core remains intact or if Real Madrid pulls off another headline-grabbing move.
