William Saliba, Arsenal's defender, has once again attracted Real Madrid's interest after delivering an outstanding performance against the royal team in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, despite making a mistake that led to Vinicius Junior's only goal.

The 24-year-old Saliba put on a solid defensive display at the Santiago Bernabeu, recording 12 clearances and standing out as a true leader in the absence of his teammate Gabriel, further solidifying his status as one of the best defenders in Europe, while Real Madrid's management monitors the defenders' market to strengthen the back line.

Saliba's contract with Arsenal runs until 2027, making his departure at this time difficult, especially since the English club will not let him go for less than 80 million euros, a figure that does not align with Madrid's defensive signing policy. However, the option to sign him for free after his contract ends remains on the table, as was the case with Alaba and Rudiger.
