Arsenal ‘is given to major strengthening with Real Madrid, it is unlikely that signing a key star in summer’ – but the Spanish giants “will make another movement in 2026”

Real Madrid would have been forced to play the game pending in their quest for one of the main arsenal players.

On Wednesday, Carlo Ancelotti’s team went to northern London, with the intention of taking the first step to obtain their place in the semi-final of the Champions League.

However, one side of Arsenal inspired by two incredible free kicks by Declan Rice finally produced a 3-0 victory at the Emirates who will not live long in memory.

While the result in the middle of the week will undoubtedly be an elevator for Mikel Arteta, the news surrounding Real’s transfer plans for summer can provide even more celebration reason.

According to a report of athletics, Real Madrid is unlikely to submit an offer for William Saliba when the transfer window opens despite a long -standing interest for the faithful defensive of the Gunners.

Los Blancos would have maintained a relationship with the representatives of Saliba throughout his stay in the north of London and consider the 24 -year -old as the perfect complement to their aging defense.

But Real’s transfer policy should exclude any approach for Saliba before next summer

The current arsenal saliba contract is expected to expire in the summer of 2027, but the report suggests that the probability of an extension is likely to dissuade Real’s interest this summer.

However, the Frenchman would have been reserved as a target superior to the Bernabeu and the club will seek to make a movement the following summer or to encourage Saliba to join as a free agent at the expiration of his contract.

The signing of a central defender has long been a priority in the Spanish capital, with a real targeting Leny Yoro before choosing to join Manchester United last summer.

The dean of Bournemouth, Huijsen, has been linked to a transition to Real in recent weeks, but the requested price of 50 million pounds sterling from Spain combined with his relative inexperience would have made an unlikely potential decision.

Saliba, has been a key element of the successes of Arsenal under Arteta in recent years, forming a formidable partnership with Gabriel in the heart of the club’s back line.

He was still present when Arsenal competed in the first day race on the last day before being set up by Manchester City last season.

The graduate of the Saint-Etitian Academy was also appointed to the PFA team of the season for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 campaigns.
