According to rumors, Real Madrid made an offer for William Saliba that included two of their current first-team players in addition to a sizable sum of money. Real Madrid has allegedly made an offer to sign William Saliba, according to Fichajes. Determined to get the French defender to the Santiago Bernabeu, the Spanish powerhouses are said to have made an offer of €90 million plus two of their current first-team players.
In the time left in this window, Real Madrid is expected to give some other acquisitions careful consideration. New manager Xabi Alonso believes there is plenty of room for additions to this group, even if it means some current stars may have to leave, so Florentino Perez may concentrate on the middle and defensive portions of the field.
After several months of negotiations, Saliba is allegedly nearing a new contract with Arsenal. The defender gave the strongest hint that he would sign a new contract with the Gunners in a recent statement after the team’s preseason victory against Newcastle United. This would essentially put an end to Real Madrid’s remaining chances in this pursuit.
Real Madrid ‘offer’ £79m plus two players for Arsenal jewel
Fabrizio Romano gave an update on William Saliba’s contract extension at Arsenal, saying it would be “hopefully soon.” This comes despite rumors in Spain that Real Madrid was going to give the Gunners a deal for €90 million, along with two Los Blancos players as part of the deal.
Now that Xabi Alonso is keen to bolster his defense and has failed to persuade Liverpool to sell Ibrahima Konate, there is a new rumor that Real Madrid is preparing an outrageous offer for the Gunners gem that even Arteta may find hard to turn down.
Fichajes claims that the Spanish powerhouses have made a stunning offer for Saliba. According to the source, Arsenal has received offers for both a season-long loan of playmaker Arda Guler and a permanent contract with highly regarded defender Raul Asensio, who is being considered as a possible replacement for the Frenchman in the Gunners’ rearguard.
“Arsenal is displaying their ambition, but Madrid would love to attack for Saliba; he is a player they have at the top of their list.” But it doesn’t appear that Arsenal needs to be concerned about their top defender leaving.
