Despite being one of Arsenal’s greatest performers the last three seasons, Real Madrid is currently preparing a bold transfer offer for the French center back, William Saliba. Arsenal is currently in the midst of what may turn out to be a season-defining week.
Sunday’s hard-fought 1-0 victory against Tottenham in the North London derby saw the Gunners return to winning ways in the Premier League. After that, they have a Champions League match against Atalanta, but the focus is already on this weekend’s matchup against Manchester City, their rivals for the crown.
William Saliba, the center defender for Arsenal, is seen by Real Madrid as the man who may lead their defense going forward. In the upcoming transfer windows, the Premier League’s top players could be targeted by the defending champions of Spain and Europe, according to The Independent.

The three players named above have all just agreed to new contracts, but it does not necessarily indicate they are opposed to leaving. In all likelihood, however, only teams like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, and maybe even Manchester City would be able to sign a premier Arsenal player.
One player who is frequently brought up in conversations about the best central defender in the world is Saliba, a 23-year-old who is now circulating throughout Europe. Jamal Musiala is one youngster whose name is already attracting interest, but the Gunners will also be allowed to sign players from those four clubs.
