Arsenal are drawing up a new contract for William Saliba as they look to stop the defender from even considering a huge transfer to Real Madrid, TEAMtalk can exclusively reveal.
Arsenal are pushing to try and secure the Premier League trophy from Manchester City and have yet again found themselves in a title race.
They have some key players who have grown into some of the best in the world, and Saliba can certainly be included in that list.
His supreme talents have made him a wanted man and Real Madrid are very keen to add him to their world-class squad, having made contact with his agent recently.
It would be a monstrous deal and would have to be a record sale for Arsenal to even consider his exit. Sources at the Emirates have now made their stance very clear.
According to TEAMtalk there is absolutely no intention from Arsenal to sell Saliba in the coming windows as he is vital to their plans. Sources state that Arsenal are keen to tie him down to a new deal, with the centre-back’s current contract running until June 2027.
Saliba moving to Madrid in January is impossible. Next summer is another subject altogether but sources are adamant Madrid have eyes for the likes of Trent Alexander-Arnold and will be focused elsewhere.
Although moving to Madrid would be of interest to Saliba at some stage in the future, TEAMtalk revealed last week that he is solely focused on Arsenal and making them one of the elite sides both in England and Europe.
