Real Madrid will not sign Arsenal star William Saliba this summer after the Gunners have rejected a daring offer.
Despite the fact that he has already brought in three new defenders this summer, Club President Florentino Perez is said to be open for more expenses before the transfer window closes, with France International Saliba a long -term objective.
Real Madrid's interest in Saliba extends more than 12 months, even though the Gunners are working on a contract extension for him at the Emirates Stadium, with his current deal in 2027.
Madrid's temptation is strong, but Mikel Arteta has openly explained his confidence about retaining Saliba with Basque coach who confirms that the 23-year-old told him that he is happy to stay in North London.
Arsenal is likely to have around € 80 million to even consider a sale with Real Madrid, also open for waiting for a free transfer in 2027.
The Ibrahima konate of Liverpool is also on the Radar of Perez and it could be available for free next summer, if no resolution is reached on his contract in Anfield.
According to reports from Diario Sport, Real Madrid has contacted Arsenal, about a possible Swap deal for Saliba.
Brazil International Rodrygo Goes is confronted with an uncertain future under Xabi Alonso and Arsenal were connected to him after the FIFA Club World Cup.
The report claims that the offer would include a straight swap, without compensation, because the two players are appreciated at similar prices.
However, the offer was immediately rejected by Arsenal, because they want to bind Saliba to a new contract.
Rodrygo could still go further before the transfer deadline on 1 September with Manchester City reportedly looking for a late offer for him.
