Real Madrid is planning a solid summer transfer offer for Arsenal Defensive Star William Saliba.
Carlo Ancelotti continued his policy to avoid major movements in the January transfer window despite injury problems.
Dani Carvajal and Eer Militao will probably not stay again this season, with Antonio Rudiger being currently being sidelined and David Alaba works on full fitness again after 13 months.
Despite the situation, Ancelotti opposed the urge to spend in January, while he wants to fight over the line until the end of the campaign.
Liverpool immediately back Alexander-Arnold remains the primary target and Real Madrid has submitted their free transfer package, but no answer has yet been returned.
However, a movement for two middle backs is still on the agenda for Ancelotti, because he is planning for the long term after Alaba and Rudiger.
Real Madrid keeps closely in the Saliba contract extension plans in the Emirates Stadium, with its current deal in 2027.
The lack of Arsenal trophies can affect the decision of Saliba with the 23-year-old who is currently appreciated at around € 80 million.
Mikel Arteta will fight to keep the French international at the club, and the Gunners are willing to offer a salary increase, but the temptation of Real Madrid is strong.
Transfer expert Matteo Moretto – via his column in Relo – has indicated that an offer will arrive at the end of the season, whereby Ancelotti also focuses on a different publicly central defender.
The other option will probably be a cheaper and more experienced player to guide Saliba and rising stars, including Raul Asencio and Jacobo Ramon in the hardships of challenge for domestic and European awards.
The role of the French international teammates of Saliba can also be important, with Kylian Mbappe, Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga who play a similar 'agent' role as Jude Bellingham with Alexander-Arnold over England.
