When Real Madrid comes and is interested in a player, the team feels threatened there and this is certainly quite disturbing for the fans. This time the Gunners have to look after their players because otherwise one of their important players could leave with such a sweet offer from Real Madrid. William Saliba is a good central defender and considering that Real Madrid are looking for a new defensive line, he is a very complete figure.
It feels like William Saliba is dreaming that in the future there will be an offer from Real Madrid and from the player's side of course he won't be able to refuse the offer. His market value is 80 million euros and I think that is a fair price for William Lintasa who can always perform consistently at club and for his country.
Well, will Arsenal let him go even if Real Madrid pours in huge funds? However, Arsenal have looked at Riccardo Calafiori and are reportedly getting closer so they could let William Saliba go to Real Madrid.
Concerning this rumour involving saliba moving to real madrid for 80 million euros, I don't think it pulls any weight, because long gone are those days that arsenal sell almost all their best possible players for money, now, they are more interested in competing for the title and some other bigger trophies, and why would they sell their best player if they want to keep on competing? And besides in as much as his market value might be 80 million euros, if arsenal wanted to cash in on him, they would definitely want above 100 million euros, due to his form and his age.
Secondly, why I think that this rumour has no weight is that, in as much as really madrid want a central defender, due to the departure of the team captain Nacho, they wouldn't spend so much money on saliba which they know very well that he is not an upgrade to any of their current central backs, like Antonio rudiger, David alaba and militao, he is actually not better than any of them, so why would they spend so much on a player that is going to be playing as backup choice or cover up in case of injuries, so you see the point why I think that this deal will never happen, at least not this summer.
