Real Madrid may have received a large transfer boost in their long-term pressure to sign Arsenal star William Saliba.
Club president Florentino Perez is willing to make summer spending in the Spanish capital to reduce Real Madrid in line with their rivals throughout Europe.
With Carlo Ancelotti, who is increasingly closer to the output door edge, the new boss gets the Los Blancos -Cheque book, with Xabi Alonso on standby.
New defenders are expected to be the first target of Alonso with Dani Carvajal and Eer Militao who both return from long-term ACL injuries, and Antonio Rudiger who undergo recent operation.
Van Los Blancos is still expected to conclude a free transfer agreement for Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold, but central defense is a constant point of care.
Saliba has had the Real Madrid radar in recent months, despite the gunners who work for a contract extension for him at the Emirates Stadium, with his current deal in 2027.
Mikel Arteta has openly explained his confidence to keep Saliba with Basque coach who confirms that the 23-year-old told him that he is happy to stay.
The likely question from Arsenal for around € 80 million seemed to put an end to the immediate interest of Real Madrid while waiting to secure him for free in the future.
However, according to an exclusive turn of the French outlet l'Equipe, Saliba's Entourage has already made contact with Real Madrid.
The report claims that Real Madrid wants Saliba to lead their future defense and that the former St Etienne star is said to only consider an arsenal output to join Real Madrid and no other club.
Arsenal could bring that in a difficult position in the coming weeks, because they are confronted with an important call on his contract negotiations.
Arsenal will not make a decision in both directions until the end of the season, because they offer to reach the UEFA Champions League final.
