Break a Record: Madrid Makes a Move to Transfer the World's Best Central Defender

As the months go by, Real Madrid is increasingly clear about the transfers they need to make. The defense, which has been affected by serious injuries, urgently needs the presence of another central defender. Despite having Rüdiger, Asencio, and Tchouaméni, the club is clear about its goal to strengthen this position.

William Saliba is the central defender Real Madrid has chosen to pursue in the upcoming market. Considered one of the best ones in the world, Florentino Pérez is willing to finalize his transfer. Despite the 100 million euros that will have to be spent, the president is determined to carry out this operation.

Aware that the Frenchman is the ideal transfer for the team, the president has started to make moves. With an eye on the next summer market, Real Madrid is set on transfer Saliba.

The central defender for Real Madrid

Having been part of Arsenal since 2019, Saliba went through several loans before settling into the British team. At just 23 years old, the Frenchman has managed to establish himself as an excellent central defender. The security he provides to the defense, his maturity, and decisions during the game have made him a shrewd player.

The 2,235 minutes he has played this season are a testament to his importance. While the player is under contract until 2027, Real Madrid is determined to finalize his transfer. Enjoying Mikel Arteta's confidence, the Frenchman's departure won't be easy.

This is why Florentino Pérez has shown his willingness to spend the necessary amount to complete his transfer. However, it is not ruled out that the president will look for a way to secure the Frenchman's services for a lower value.

The best defense in the world

Florentino's plan with this transfer shows his intentions to have the best defense in the world. Saliba's presence is important to have a defense brimming with talent and, above all, the necessary youth.
