Real Madrid are prepared to spend £85 million on Arsenal star this summer. They are keen to land him but Gunners have no intention to sell him anytime soon.
Real Madrid are planning for summer overhaul with defence as their top priority. They are set to sign centre back and full-back. They are already said to have convinced Trent Alexander-Arnold to join them. The Englishman will join Los Blancos on a free transfer.
Los Blancos are also willing to spend big on world-class defender. They are not impressed with the current players and hence some may get sold this summer. As of now, they have Arsenal star as the top target for defensive rebuilt.

The star in question here is William Saliba who is considered as leader of Arsenal’s defence. He just turned 24 years old but is already considered as one of the best defenders in the world. Los Blancos have him as the top priority for the summer transfer window.
According to Caught Offside, Real Madrid are ready to spend £85 million to secure his signature in this summer window. This will make Saliba the world record defender transfer signing. As of now, the record is held by Josko Gvardiol who costed Man City £77 million.
Despite the strong interest from Madrid, Gunners have no intention to sell Saliba. They rate him very highly and consider him as a key part of their future. In addition, Mikel Arteta values Saliba very much and wants to extend his stay.
Saliba has also shown his love for Arsenal. He will be out of contract in 2027. The North London club are planning to extend the contract but the player is in no hurry. However, he has spoken highly about the club and is likely to stay for longer duration.
