Real Madrid are targeting the transfer of Arsenal defender Saliba

Real Madrid has recently faced ongoing challenges in defense, with a series of injuries and a lack of depth taking a toll. The club plans to address this issue next summer.

Details: According to Le10Sport, Real Madrid has identified Arsenal’s William Saliba as their primary target for a central defender. A winter signing is unlikely, but the club intends to initiate negotiations during the summer transfer window.

Sources suggest that Saliba is open to a move to Real Madrid, motivated by his desire to compete for major trophies.

Most likely, Real will bring in a temporary replacement for Éder Militão in January, then pursue Saliba as a long-term solution next summer.

Reminder: This weekend, Real Madrid’s main center-back, Éder Militão, also suffered a cruciate ligament injury, ruling him out for the remainder of the season.
