Real Madrid are considering a move for Arsenal centre-back William Saliba but the Gunners have no intention of letting him leave, according to reports.

The France international has established himself as one of the best defenders in the Premier League and has been instrumental in Arsenal’s rise under Mikel Arteta.

It’s no secret that Real Madrid are looking to sign a top-class centre-back in 2025 and Saliba, as well as Tottenham’s Cristian Romero, are both on their shortlist.

According to Football Transfers, Carlo Ancelotti’s side have ‘a concrete interest’ in Saliba, but Arsenal are unwilling to sell him ‘at any price’.

This is despite the fact that Real Madrid are ‘willing to offer a player to sweeten the deal and Rodrygo has been suggested as a potential option’, but this is not thought to have softened Arsenal’s stance.

Arsenal are set to ‘sit down’ with Saliba in the coming months in an attempt to tie him down to a lucrative new contract, despite only signing fresh terms last year.

Saliba remains fully committed to Arsenal and his focus is squarely on bringing silverware to the Emirates this year.
