William Saliba addresses transfer rumors linking him to Real Madrid

Real Madrid is reportedly planning to strengthen their center-back position in 2025, with William Saliba among their top targets. However, the Arsenal defender recently made it clear that he has no intention of leaving the club.

Quote. "I feel at home. I signed with the club five years ago, but this is only my third season, and I’m enjoying everything—the players, the staff, the fans. I feel at home, so of course, why not (stay)?" Saliba stated.

A transfer of Saliba from Arsenal would be both complex and costly. Despite his statement, it’s not ruled out that Real Madrid could make a serious attempt to sign the Frenchman.
