Arsenal defender, William Saliba reportedly has a special connection with Real Madrid and intends to make a move to the Spanish capital in the future.
With Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes creating one of the best center-back pairings in world football, the Frenchman has been playing brilliantly for the Gunners over the last two seasons.
Saliba consistently helped Arsenal in contending for the Premier League crown, and this season, they have excelled in the Champions League.
Real Madrid were eliminated by the Gunners in the Champions League quarterfinals as Mikel Arteta’s team put on two outstanding displays to win 5-1 on aggregate.

The Spanish team have been interested in Saliba because of his performances. According to a recent source, Arsenal are now willing to part ways with the France international in exchange for Aurelien Tchouameni.
According to L’Equipe, Real Madrid have been monitoring the development of Saliba, who is under contract until 2027, for several seasons.
Given their recent shortcomings in the defensive side of the game, Los Blancos feel that this role is clearly needed for reinforcement.
According to the report, the Arsenal center-back has “always maintained a special connection with the Spanish club, which he sees as the highest level achievable.”
However, Saliba is “happy” at the Emirates Stadium, at least in public, as the France international recently insisted that he still has to work on his game.
