"Arsenal are ramping up efforts to tie down William Saliba, who has emerged as a linchpin in their defensive line. Arsenal have tabled an improved contract extension to the French centre-back, aiming to ward off interest from top clubs, especially Real Madrid, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside. Saliba's current contract at Arsenal runs until 2027.Arsenal's sporting director, Andrea Berta, is steering discussions."
"Real Madrid continue to monitor Saliba closely. The Spanish giants are seen to be waiting for the moment when his contract runs down, or when Arsenal feel pressured to sell. There are suggestions that Madrid see 20262027 as a window to make a more serious bid. PSG are also reported to be keeping tabs on the situation, though sources indicate that a return to Ligue 1 is less likely in the immediate term."
"Saliba has become central to Mikel Arteta's current and future plans as the defender has shown his quality and consistency at the top level for a number of seasons now. His partnership with Brazilian centre-back Gabriel Magalhaes is one of the best defensive partnerships in world football at the moment and it is easy to see why the Gunners are pushing hard to secure his future."
Arsenal have offered William Saliba an improved contract extension to secure his long-term future and deter interest from top clubs, with his current deal running until 2027. Sporting director Andrea Berta is leading accelerated talks as Arsenal seek clarity before the final contract year. Real Madrid continue to monitor Saliba and may target him around 2026-2027, while PSG are also keeping tabs. Saliba forms a top defensive partnership with Gabriel Magalhaes and is central to Mikel Arteta's plans. Saliba has played three Premier League games this season, is recovering from an ankle injury, and Arsenal risk losing leverage if his deal is not extended.
