Real Madrid make strong moves in the transfer market
Real Madrid are once again making strong moves in the transfer market, and this time their target is Arsenal’s defence. The Spanish giants have made a bid for William Saliba that is attracting a lot of attention: €90 million plus two players who could be the key to closing the deal.
Real Madrid include two players in their bid for William Saliba
The French centre-back, who has a contract with Arsenal until June 2027, has long been on Real Madrid’s radar. His performances in the Premier League are very solid, and at Valdebebas they see him as a potential future leader in defence. In addition to the money, Madrid have therefore included Arda Güler in the deal, with a loan that will last until the end of the season. The young Turkish player, who has had limited playing time in Madrid, can find more continuity in London.
But that’s not all, the bid also includes Raúl Asensio, one of the gems of Real Madrid’s youth academy. The defender, who is valued at €40 million, is a hope for the future that Arsenal will not turn their backs on. His inclusion shows that Madrid are determined to close the signing as quickly as possible.
Arsenal are considering the offer
There has not yet been an official response from England, but Arsenal are considering the offer seriously. Saliba is a key player for the team, but the financial offer and the players included make the transfer difficult to refuse.
At the same time, Real Madrid stands firm. They know they need to strengthen their defence for the future, and Saliba fits perfectly into the club’s plans. The next few hours could be crucial to move forward in a negotiation that, if successful, will involve not only money, but also young talents with a lot to prove.
