Real Madrid wants to jump if they can benefit from Arsenal's situation, as they did with Liverpool and Trent Alexander-Arnold, in the next 12 months
Real Madrid could look to take advantage of another decayed contract after signing Trent Alexander-Arnold, by focusing on Arsenal star Myles Lewis-Skelly. The side of Xabi Alonso separated roads by £ 10 million to end their new right back a month before his deal in Liverpool ended up to use Alexander-Arnold for the club World Cup on time.
The full-back was expected to go to the Bernabeu in the last 12 months, with his contract that PTO and no sign of renewal. After signing Kylian Mbappe a year ago on a free transfer of Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid builds up the reputation to take advantage when players are in precarious situations with their contract.
And Lewis-Skelly could soon be their latest target. The young star broke through this season in the first team of Arsenal after his debut against Manchester City and in an unknown position of left back he was considered good enough to start for England under Thomas Tuchel.
With the remarkable rise of the 18-year-old, the pressure for Arsenal comes to bind him to a new contract. After signing his first professional deal in 2023, the teenager is now ready to see that his contract will expire in 2026.
Arsenal is in negotiations to extend the player's deal, but according to the Guardian it has not been a smooth process so far. Real Madrid could look to take advantage.
The Hale End -Product is one of a number of stars -sports director of Arsenal Andrea Berta tries to bind. The will of Ethan Nwaneri, William Saliba and Bukayo Saka are all ready for new deals with the first to see their contracts of a year.
Saliba and Saka both have two years to their respective contracts, although Real Madrid is closely linked to a movement for the French defender. In the meantime, Saka looks the most concrete to reach a new agreement and has made it clear that he is planning to stay with the Emirates.
The wing player of England believes that he can fulfill all his career ambitions with the Emirates. Asked for his future earlier this year, Saka said: “Yes, well, for me I want to win and I want to win by wearing this badge. So I think it's pretty clear that the fans know how much I love them.
“You saw when I came up on Tuesday, I think they love me. So it's a good relationship and I am really happy to be here and just concentrate on winning.”
It is no surprise that Lewis-Skelly is interested after an impressive first senior season. Former Liverpool -defender Jamie Carragher is of the opinion that the Arsenal star should be appointed as Young Player of the Year.
“At the age of 18 you are a baby,” said Carragher on Sky Sports. 'The thought that at that age you could win the young player of the year. That is something that Michael Owen does or Wayne Rooney, absolute superstars.
“I couldn't believe he wasn't on that list. The reason I went for him was how well he played in big matches I watched. Against Man City, against Liverpool, in the Bernabeuu [against Real]. '
“That [left-back] Has been a huge problem position for Arsenal and he went inside and looked like it's his and he has always been there, “added ex-manchester United defender Gary Neville.
“That is the biggest compliment that you can give to a young player, they just go in. [Bukayo] Saka has done it in recent years. To go into that position and to do what he did. “
