Present Scenario

French center-back William Saliba, a cornerstone for Arsenal’s defense, finds himself at the center of transfer speculation, with Spanish titans Real Madrid showing a keen interest[1][2]. Despite this, Arsenal has commenced talks with Saliba’s representatives to ensure his continued tenure with the club.
Contract Situation
Saliba’s contract with Arsenal stretches until 2027. Arsenal is eager to extend his stay by paying a premium to prevent him from departing without a transfer fee if his contract expires[2][3].
Real Madrid's Attention
Real Madrid considers Saliba an attractive prospect, viewing him as a welcome addition to their roster. However, Arsenal is determined to keep him, actively negotiating to keep his interest piqued[1][4].
Discussions
Although negotiations are underway, no official proposals have been put forward. Saliba is believed to be seeking a salary enhancement as part of any extended deal[3][4]. Arsenal remains optimistic that they can strike a deal to keep Saliba at the Emirates Stadium.
Potential Outcomes
If Arsenal successfully bargains a new contract for Saliba, it would be a substantial victory for the club, preserving top talent and diminishing Real Madrid's interest. However, the negotiation process is still in progress, and the ultimate outcome remains uncertain[1][2].
