Arsenal rocked as Real Madrid, PSG track Gunners superstar for summer transfer, with groundwork laid

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly both keen on signing Arsenal star William Saliba this summer, after receiving information on the defender.

Saliba has been a transformative member of the Gunners side in the past couple of campaigns. While he is not the only reason they finished second in the Premier League in 2022/23 and 2023/24, it is of note that those are the only two seasons he’s played for them thus far.

Indeed, a pair of enormous European sides could put his place at Arsenal under threat.

Real Madrid, PSG keen on Saliba

According to Caught Offside, both Real Madrid and PSG are keen on the Gunners centre-back.

The former have Leny Yoro at the top of their centre-back wish list, but it’s said Saliba is now alongside him.

PSG, meanwhile, could let go of Milan Skriniar, and will be in the market for a new central defender.

It’s said both clubs have received information on Saliba, and thus are both keen on taking the next steps.

But whether that is possible is a different story.

Arsenal don’t want to sell
