Arsenal defender William Saliba drew the attention of Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) with his outstanding talent.

The British Tribune reported on the 1st (Korea time) 'Real and PSG are interested in recruiting Saliba'

Saliba is a French center back who moved from Saint-Etienne to Arsenal in 2019 and headed to the English Premier League (EPL). Saliba, who has re-leased Saint-Etienne, Nice and Marseille since joining Arsenal, has been a regular Arsenal player since the 2022-2023 season.



From the 2023-2024 season, he began to show off his skills as the best center back on the EPL stage. He was regarded as a hexagonal centre-back who is not missing in any field, including stable build-up, excellent defensive skills, solid physicality and fast speed, and contributed to the minimum number of runs of the season with teammate Gabriel Magalyangis.

However, his excessive performance posed a great threat to Arsenal. This is because there are teams aiming for Saliba, a key power.



Tribuna 'Saliba has emerged as a potential centre-back candidate for Real and PSG. According to the news, Arsenal have no intention of selling Saliba, but they could not stop European big clubs from watching the situation. Saliba is also active in Euro 2024'

He added that `Real and PSG are also willing to test Arsenal's will through their financial power, and are considering this.'



Real are considering signing a center back due to injuries and sluggishness of David Alaba and Eder Militão along with the recent transfer of Nacho Fernandez. Rennie Yoro has been nominated, but he seems to have considered recruiting Saliba. PSG also desperately needs to recruit a center back. He is competing with Real to sign Yoro and wants a player to replace Marquis.

The defender who led Arsenal's rise focused the attention of top European clubs. Whether Arsenal can continue to keep Saliba for the next few seasons is expected to make a big difference to the defense of Arsenal and other clubs.
