The Arsenal defender William Saliba has dropped the ongoing speculations about a potential future transfer To Real Madrid, a club that is desperately needed after reinforcing central defenders.
Madrid has not recruited a central defender in 2022 since Antonio Rudiger’s Free Agent and has not paid any money for you in a long time.
But when Nacho was injured last summer and injuries by David Alaba and Eder Militao, the squad was worn out this season. Aurelien tchouameni was connected as an emergency cover, with Raul Ascio and Jacobo Ramon quickly locked up in the first team.
Madrid was associated with all types of recruitment options, from the aging superstar Virgil van Dijk at the end of the spectrum to the emerging Castello Lukeba in the other. Saliba, as someone who approaches his climax, falls somewhere in the middle.
But the Frenchman, who had to be patient for his chance of Arsenal, after he had originally arrived as an unknown teenager and borrowed several seasons, does not urge one step.
“I’m very happy for me here,” he said this week to reporters. “I’ve also been here for two and a half years. There is nothing. I am happy here and I want to continue here.”
Saliba has a contract with Arsenal by 2027 and insists that there is “no rush” to give talks about a new deal at this point. “There are a few years [left]. I’m happy here, that’s it. “
Rudiger has already considered Saliba’s qualities and recently evaluated the player among the three central defenders, which he gives in other clubs as the best.
“Saliba, Virgil van Dijk and … I like Gabriel from Arsenal, he really urges,” said the German.
“I just enjoy it, for example when you see Arsenal, play the two central defenders together, have been doing a great job for two years.
“The transformation from the Arsenal, which has been a bit so far, are the columns of it, Gabriel and Saliba. Gabriel is the more aggressive leader and Saliba … this brother plays clean. You have to give it to him. He looks like a quiet leader and I like that. “
