Real Madrid's plan to sign Arsenal star William Saliba revealed with Los Blancos prepared to wait until 2027 to unite Frenchman with compatriot Kylian Mbappe

<p>Los Blancos are believed to be huge fans of Saliba, with reports suggesting the club have tracked the 24-year-old since his days at Saint-Etienne. The player joined Arsenal in 2019, but Madrid have cultivated an ongoing relationship with Saliba's inner circle. </p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>A summer move is highly unlikely. Saliba is under contract until 2027, and Arsenal will probably pursue a renewal before the 25/26 season. It is believed Madrid will make a bid in 2026, or will pursue a free transfer if the centre back doesn't put pen to paper in North London.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Real Madrid have already shipped 64 goals this term, 14 more than they conceded in the entirety of the 23/24 season. Los Blancos have been linked with other options at centre half, including Jonathan Tah, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bayern-munich-bayer-leverkusen-jonathan-tah-transfer-bundesliga-champions/blt3f8937d8fd955c8b" target="_blank">who will leave Leverkusen on a free this summer</a>, and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dean-huijsen-exit-clause-drops-big-hint-his-future-amid-interest-real-madrid-liverpool-bayern/blt228ff43483d43a4a" target="_blank">promising youngster Dean Huijsen</a>. The Bournemouth star is a diehard Real Madrid fan.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Saliba will likely feature for the Gunners home game against Brentford on Saturday, before turning his attention to his potential suitors. Arsenal take a 3-0 lead to the Bernabeu in the second leg of the Champions League quarter finals on Wednesday. </p>
