Didac Aguirre Bombshell: the leak bringing Saliba closer to Real Madrid will become official in a few hours
The unexpected signing that Real Madrid could take advantage of to secure the transfer of William Saliba
One of Real Madrid's biggest desires last season was to sign William Saliba. However, given his importance at Arsenal, this transfer was impossible to complete. At least that's what was thought until recently, with a leak revealing Cristhian Mosquera's signing by Arsenal.
The young Valencia center-back is just about to finally be announced as Arsenal's new player. This reinforcement would raise the level of the English club's play but would harm William Saliba. The presence of another young center-back on the team could lead to the Frenchman's departure this very summer transfer window.
According to what we know at Defensa Central, Saliba is still one of Real Madrid's interests. After Mosquera's signing, the club could finally try to transfer Saliba. This move would certainly be a great reinforcement for Real Madrid's defense.
The opportunity with Saliba
As a regular starter at Arsenal since 2022, William Saliba has grown as a center-back. From being a talented but extremely inexperienced player, Saliba is now one of the best center-backs in the Premier League. A key piece in Mikel Arteta's schemes, Saliba is the leader of the defense and the reason for its outstanding solidity every year.
With a contract until 2027 and a high value, Real Madrid has never made an offer for him. However, Mosquera's imminent signing has completely changed the situation. At 21 years old, Mosquera will be the club's new and promising center-back.
Although his value is still somewhat high, Real Madrid could try to sign Saliba. The Frenchman is the perfect player to form a solid partnership with Dean Huijsen. Having both center-backs would help Real Madrid finally have a young defense.
The summer bomb
Although Real Madrid hasn't made any offer, this shouldn't take long. The club, during this summer transfer window, has made a major investment to strengthen the squad. Saliba would be the bomb the team needs to conclude its transfer window.
