Announced in France: Florentino Wants to Transfer the Best in the World after Mbappé

The French star Florentino Pérez is looking to transfer after succeeding in the Kylian Mbappé deal

After a rough patch, Mbappé is finally showing his best version with Real Madrid. The French attacker, after several seasons of waiting, is dazzling all of Madrid with his quality and ball skills. Considered one of the best in the world in his position, the Frenchman could see the arrival of a compatriot.

This is due to Florentino Pérez's intentions to finalize the transfer of William Saliba. The Arsenal central defender is one of the major interests to strengthen Real Madrid's defense. Faced with the injuries the defense has suffered this season, the team is clear that they must renew this position as soon as possible.

Even so, transfer Saliba will be extremely complicated due to the importance he holds for Mikel Arteta. His contract with the English club and being one of the leaders of the team are some of the issues Real Madrid must solve to finalize this transfer.

The best central defender for the best team

At just 23 years old, Saliba has established himself as the best central defender in the entire Premier League. Joining Arsenal in 2019, the Frenchman went through several loans that helped him unleash his full potential. Gaining the starting position from 2022, Saliba has become an important piece in his coach's plans.

With a contract until 2027 and playing 2,625 minutes this season, Saliba's importance with the English is evident. However, Florentino Pérez is fully determined to carry out his transfer in an upcoming transfer window.

Aware that the defense needs to start renewing, the president has seen in Saliba the new leader for the Merengue defense. However, much remains to be determined for this transfer to move from the wish list to reality.

The player Real Madrid needs

After consolidating their attack with the arrival of Mbappé, Real Madrid is ready to do the same with their defense and Saliba. With extensive experience achieving transfers that seem impossible, the team is confident in succeeding with this important transfer.
