William Saliba failed to cancel the reports of a move to Real Madrid when an arsenal fan pleaded with the defender to stay at the Emirates Stadium. The Frenchman has been linked to a move in the Spanish capital in recent months.
Large relationships in Spain claim that Los Blancos is desperate to win the Saliba as a central defense objective n ° 1 in the coming years. The form of the 23 -year -old with Arsenal made him one of the most popular defenders in Europe.
Saliba may not promise an arsenal fan that will stay in northern London for many years to come. He was involved in a revealing exchange with the individual during the mid-season training camp of the Gunners in Dubai.
Images of the conversation have been shared on social networks. The man asks Saliba to sign his arsenal shirt before making a series of requests.
“Saliba, Champions League, please!” The fan said, with inaudibly mumbled saliba.
The fan then pleads: “Never go [Real] Madrid!”
However, Saliba just laughed and returned man to man before saying: “Thank you.”
It was not the most convincing denial that the International of France will arouse any interest on the part of the future. However, Saliba certainly seems happy at the Emirates Stadium and wants to engage with supporters.
Arsenal should require world record fees for a central defender to separate from Saliba. The file is currently at 80 million pounds sterling that Manchester United paid to sign Harry Maguire de Leicester in 2019.

But there could be some concern in northern London that the current saliba agreement expires in the summer of 2027. Players earn much more power over their future when they enter the last two years of their contract.
Speaking in December, Saliba insisted that he feels comfortable at Arsenal and is ready to extend his stay under Mikel Arteta. Asked about staying at the Emirates Stadium, he said: “Yes of course, I feel at home.
“I signed for the club five years ago, but this is only my third season and I appreciate everything – players, staff and fans. I feel at home so of course, why not [stay]? “”
A resumption of the form has seen Arsenal establish itself as the closest to Liverpool in the Premier League. They are six points behind the Reds, who have a match in hand in the form of Wednesday's Merseyside derby.
