In recent weeks, Real Madrid has been actively pursuing Lille defender Leny Yoro as their top target for this summer’s transfer window. However, rumors have emerged that the Spanish club is also eyeing Arsenal’s William Saliba as a potential transfer target.
Saliba, who has been impressing for France at Euro 2024, has garnered interest from top clubs like Real Madrid. Although Arsenal has stated they have no intention of selling the 23-year-old center-back, Real Madrid has requested more information on him. The Spanish club previously considered signing Saliba last October and may be evaluating their options as they plan for the future.
With key defenders like Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba approaching their thirties, Real Madrid is likely looking for potential successors. While a move for Saliba this summer seems unlikely, it is possible that his name has resurfaced due to agent involvement seeking better deals for their clients. Real Madrid’s interest in young talents like Saliba suggests they are proactive in planning for the team’s long-term success.
