The current La Liga winners, Real Madrid, have stopped chasing Arsenal defender William Saliba until the summer transfer window of 2025. Real Madrid has drawn attention to 23-year-old French defender Saliba as they look for a long-term central defense partner for Eder Militao. Bondy, France was where William Saliba started his road to fame. He began his young career with his local team then progressed to FC Montfermeil and subsequently AS Saint-Etienne’s junior program. In July 2019 Arsenal signed him from Saint-Etienne. Saliba’s early years at Arsenal, however, consisted of three loan periods prior to his joining the first-team lineup in the 2022–23 season.
Real Madrid Are Planning To Sign The £190,000-a-week Arsenal Player
Salibo has participated 83 games since joining Arsenal’s main squad, adding two assists and five goals. Not only has his outstanding performances guaranteed his spot on the national squad, but prominent teams such Real Madrid have also taken notice.Saliba interests Real Madrid logically. For Eder Militao, the club need a consistent long-term partner—especially given David Alaba and Antonio Rudiger’s approach to late career phases. Though speculations point to a new center-back maybe joining Real Madrid this summer, fresh data show the team will wait until the summer transfer window of 2025 to move for Saliva.
Arsenal is not going to let Saliba leave lightly. The club really appreciates him, and his current deal, signed last year, pays a good £190,000 per week. Real Madrid will have to pay significantly financially to guarantee his services. Although the move will be expensive, Real Madrid’s financial situation makes this a reasonable project.
Both teams will rely critically on the summer transfer window for 2025. Real Madrid’s desire for a strong defender will fuel their hunt of Saliba; Arsenal will want to keep their top player. Salibo’s future will also be much influenced by his progress and performance throughout the upcoming season. Watching attentively, the excitement for what looks to be an interesting transfer narrative grows among fans and experts.

Joan Garcia, the goalkeeper for Espanyol, is being pursued by Real Madrid and Arsenal, among others. The 23-year-old has quickly become one of Spain’s best goalkeepers, drawing attention from elite teams around Europe. Garcia has been under Real Madrid’s radar for a while now. Real Madrid is the largest club in Spain. However, Arsenal may be faced with the prospect of selling Aaron Ramsdale during this transfer window, despite already having two solid goalkeepers on their roster. Arsenal is considering trading for Ramsdale as he is no longer the first-choice goalkeeper at the Emirates.
As a possible alternative to Ramsdale, Garcia is being seriously explored. Arsenal may still go for Garcia to bolster their goalkeeping options, regardless of whether Ramsdale stays or not. Football Espana claims that Real Madrid is just as committed to signing Garcia as Arsenal is. Given that both teams currently have two solid goalie choices, he will likely be the third choice for both of them.
This is a sensible decision from Arsenal’s perspective for a number of reasons. To start, it’s good to have healthy rivalry among goalkeepers. Everyone gives their all when there are a lot of good choices. Second, Arsenal has to be proactive since Ramsdale’s future is unknown. They must have a trustworthy successor on standby in case he opts to go.
