Real Madrid continuing to monitor Arsenal star | OneFootball

The brass at La Liga giants Real Madrid are continuing to keep a close eye on the situation of a leading member of the defensive ranks at Arsenal.

That’s according to French outlet L’Equipe, who point towards William Saliba as the player in question.

It is common knowledge across Spain at this point that Real Madrid are on the lookout for reinforcements at centre-back moving forward.

Owing to the long-term fitness struggles of David Alaba, Los Blancos are expected to bring in a new stopper either this summer or next.

To date, a whole host of players have in turn been tipped to take their talents to Spain’s capital.

Considered the most intriguing in the eyes of many, though, is the aforementioned William Saliba.

Real Madrid have long been credited with a keen interest in the Arsenal stalwart, widely regarded as one of the standout defenders in world football.

All of a Blancos persuasion will therefore no doubt be delighted to hear that their side’s board are continuing to closely monitor Saliba’s situation in north London.

With the France international yet to sign a contract extension despite ongoing talks between the parties, the Spanish heavyweights are lying in wait, ready to pounce at the first sign of Saliba wanting out.
