Didac Aguirre Saliba, much closer to Real Madrid, in France they confirm it: this is the reason
The deal Real Madrid is planning for William Saliba is getting closer to being finalized
The interest Real Madrid has in signing William Saliba isn't recent. The Merengue club has been keeping an eye on the talented Arsenal center-back for a long time. Although signing him is quite complicated, information from the newspaper L’Equipe has revealed that Real Madrid is evaluating the center-back's situation.
The reason for this is Mosquera's signing, which could make it easier for Saliba to leave in a future transfer window. According to what we know at Defensa Central, Real Madrid considers the Frenchman a necessary signing for its backline. His experience in a top-level league like the Premier League is valuable for what Real Madrid is looking to achieve,
Although Arsenal isn't interested in letting Saliba go, this hasn't discouraged Real Madrid. The situation with Mosquera could make the operation even easier for next summer. With a contract ending in 2027, Saliba could leave in 2026.
The desired signing of William Saliba
Since establishing himself at Arsenal in 2022, William Saliba has become one of the best center-backs in the Premier League. Mikel Arteta, his coach, has managed to enhance each of the qualities that make Saliba a unique center-back. Alongside Gabriel Magalhães, Saliba has formed a great partnership that combines experience and youth.
However, it seems this hasn't been enough for Arteta's expectations. Cristhian Mosquera, 21 years old, has emerged as a serious threat to Saliba. Coming from Valencia, Mosquera is a younger center-back with experience at the top-level.
Being the reason Valencia didn't get relegated last season, Mosquera showed his qualities. Even though the Spaniard still has a lot to prove, Arteta trusts him. This trust, previously placed in Saliba, could force his departure from Arsenal.
The signing of the future
For several seasons now, Real Madrid has constantly renewed all its positions. Taking advantage of every opportunity, the club isn't going to overlook William Saliba. With the season yet to begin, everything suggests the center-back no longer has a guaranteed starting spot at Arsenal.
