PSG, Real Madrid Suffer Transfer Setback After Latest Arsenal News

The Athletic’s David Ornstein reports that Saliba has agreed to a new five-year contract with Arsenal, which is expected to be finalized soon.

Recently, El Desmarque reported that Real Madrid are prepared to enter talks with Arsenal to sign Saliba. The defender is reportedly “open to a new project” and carries a price tag of €80 million.

Nonetheless, that probably was a bluff to leverage Real Madrid’s interest in the Frenchman to ensure that he gets favorable terms with the Gunners that align with his status as arguably one of the best defenders in the Premier League.
