In Friday’s quarterfinal match against Portugal at Euro 2024, William Saliba was instrumental in France’s victory. His exceptional performance has garnered a lot of praise. Before this summer, Saliba was a French bench player. Now, he’s “undroppable.” He justified his bold prediction that he would finish last season’s Premier League as one of the league’s top three defenders. It is hardly surprising that he has garnered notice, considering his outstanding league and Champions League performances last season and his accomplishments with France this summer. The best European teams probably think he can help shore up their defenses. Reports indicate that PSG and Real Madrid are contemplating taking Arsenal to court over their decision to retain Saliba. For PSG Talk, journalist Robin Bairner discussed the future of the French defender.
Will William Saliba Join PSG?
Bairner said that Saliba is pivotal to Arsenal’s Mikel Arteta’s plan. Bairner does not believe Saliba will sign with PSG, one of the two teams to which he has been connected. Instead, he thinks Real Madrid will sign Leny Yoro. Saliba is eager to remain at Arsenal. The Gunners are aware they will need him in their pursuit of the Premier League and, maybe, the Champions League, according to Bairner.
According to Bairner, Arteta considers Saliba crucial to Arsenal’s long-term success. Among the teams said to be interested in Saliba are PSG and Real Madrid, although the latter doesn’t add up considering the ties to Yoro. Yoro seems like a better fit for Real Madrid, according to Bairner. He doesn’t believe Saliba will be leaving for Real Madrid or PSG this summer.
Even if both teams are interested in Saliba, he said that Arsenal is more likely to want to hold on to him. Even Saliba is unlikely to be happy to leave Arsenal, given the club’s intriguing ambition and the championship hopes for next season.
At 22 years old, Saliba is doing well. He has matured into an integral part of Arsenal’s lineup in North London, demonstrating unwavering devotion to the club while doing so. His long-term goal is to have the team shower him with championship. It may be more beneficial for his professional and personal development to remain at Arsenal rather than pursue a move to Real Madrid or PSG, despite the allure of both clubs.

The acquisition of Riccardo Calafiori, a standout for Bologna and Italy, is imminent. It will strengthen Arsenal’s defense. The Gunners are interested in signing the versatile 22-year-old despite boasting the top defense in the Premier League last season. Italian international Calafiori has shown his worth despite his team’s poor performance. He was well-received despite his own goal in Italy’s 1-0 group stage defeat to Spain at Euro 2024. His brilliance was on full display throughout Luciano Spalletti’s challenging squadra azzurra campaign. Thiago Motta, manager of Juventus, had similar ambitions of bringing Calafiori to the Allianz Stadium. While playing for Bologna, they enjoyed a prosperous season. But Bologna was reluctant to trade a vital player to a local rival as they prepared for the Champions League.
