Spanish media has come out with a report claiming that Real Madrid management will try to get new reinforcements in the defensive midfield this summer. Who is the White Ballet interested in ? Wiliam Saliba from Arsenal London is expected to become a priority at the central defender position. The question is, will the management of the English giant sell their defensive gem ? Should they decide to sell him, we can expect the transfer sum to exceed £100 million, making him the most expensive defender in the world !
Wiliam Saliba arrived in the red part of London in 2019 as the great hope of French football. The man behind bringing in this defender is, now former coach of The Gunners- Unai Emery ( current manager of Aston Villa). The transfer sum for which Arsenal management bought him was a “ridiculous” €30 million… Should Wiliam transfer or stay ?
William Saliba is an 'absolute priority' for Real Madrid, according to RMC insider Fabrice Hawkins. 👀

However, Arsenal would only let the 23-year old leave if he became the most expensive defender in history. 💰🔝
Los Blancos would therefore need to fork out OVER £80m to try… pic.twitter.com/2V9tMJJVVB
