Real Madrid Confidencial Saliba warns Real Madrid: The deadline to leave Arsenal for Bernabéu
The Whites already know when they could secure the services of the French center-back
William Saliba has always been liked at Real Madrid. The French center-back is considered one of the best in the world in his position, and at Valdebebas, they keep him very much in mind. This is especially true due to the club's need to strengthen its backline.
For example, consider the moves made in this transfer window, except for the arrival of Franco Mastantuono. Dean Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Álvaro Carreras. All of them have joined the white house with the same purpose: to improve the defense.
Moreover, the outlook in this regard is, to say the least, interesting. Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba are over the age of 30, while Militao's performance is uncertain after his two injuries. Raúl Asencio, meanwhile, did not perform as desired during the Club World Cup.
Likewise, the technical department has a number of names on the table, and indeed, one of them is Saliba. The Frenchman finishes his contract with Arsenal in 2027 and the Gunners have already made it clear that they are not going to sell him in this window. Therefore, in the upper management at Chamartín, they would have to wait until next summer to secure his services.
It will be then, as long as he doesn't renew, when he will be just one year away from becoming a free agent. Florentino, in that situation, would have the upper hand and would play with the timing of the negotiation. He has already done so in many other operations known to all.
Konaté in the pipeline
Ibrahima Konaté is another player who is also liked at Chamartín. His name has been linked to the Merengue club for several days now. His contract with Liverpool ends in 2026 and Defensa Central can report that he is delighted to find himself on Real Madrid's radar.
As of today, July 27, his talks with the Red team for a renewal are stalled. At Anfield, they do not want the same thing to happen as already occurred with Trent Alexander-Arnold, so the situation could be interesting. Meanwhile, from the white house, they state that anything can happen until August 31.
