Real Madrid, which lost Eder Militão, are eyeing William Saliba as a replacement, and Saliba is also interested in a transfer to Real.
French media Le Dis Sport said: “Saliva is open to Real’s interest. Real are considering signing him.”
Real recently lost its key center back to injury. The main character is Militão. Real announced on its website on the 10th (Korea time) that “Militão’s examination showed that both meniscus of the right leg was affected and the anterior cruciate ligament was completely ruptured. Militão is scheduled to undergo surgery in the coming days.” As it is a fatal cruciate ligament injury for a soccer player, it was expected that the recovery period would take a long time. European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also reported that Militão will not be able to return within this season.
As the team lost its core power with many remaining schedules, Real was desperate to find a replacement. As a result, many players emerged as candidates for recruitment. The possibility of re-recruitment of Sergio Ramos, Real’s “legend,” was discussed, and Aymeric Laport was also considered one of the candidates.
The same was true of Saliba. A French-born center back, Saliba is currently the most reliable player in Arsenal. Based on his experience in the French league, he has rapidly grown as a center back and has been leading the team since the 2022-23 season. Due to his tall height, fast speed, outstanding defense and build-up ability, and strong points in set-piece, he is regarded as the best center back in the world beyond the Premier League.
He has continued his strides this season without any ups and downs. He has played in 15 matches including the Cup, and has played full time in all of the matches he has played except for the “departure” variable. He has become an indispensable player in the French national team since this year, and played full time in all six matches including the group stage at the last UEFA Euro 2024. 먹튀검증
It is not the first time that Real have taken an interest in Saliba. “Real has chosen Saliba as its top target for recruitment next summer. Their representatives have already made contact. Real are ready to offer any amount to persuade Arsenal,” said Alais Bernard of Le des Sport in October.
In this situation, Millitang was lost to injury. As Real was interested in it, the desire to recruit Saliba is expected to grow even more.
