William Saliba Emerges as Real Madrid’s Top Summer Target

According to L’Equipe, William Saliba has emerged as Real Madrid’s top target for the upcoming summer transfer window — with the Spanish club reportedly in contact with the Arsenal defender’s camp for several weeks.

The 24-year-old France international has been a key defensive figure for Arsenal since joining in 2019, particularly over the past two seasons under Mikel Arteta. With just two years remaining on his contract, Real Madrid view this as an ideal moment to move for Saliba.

Los Blancos, managed by Carlo Ancelotti, see Saliba as a future leader of their defensive line. While Arsenal are reluctant to lose a crucial player, his contract situation may force the North London club to seriously consider any major offers from Madrid.

Meanwhile, Bryan Mbeumo of Brentford has also attracted interest from both Manchester United and Newcastle United. The winger has scored 18 goals this season and is reportedly valued at around £60 million.
