Arsenal confident of keeping William Saliba away from Real Madrid

The Mirror has reported that Real Madrid is actively pursuing Saliba and has a strong interest in the Frenchman. Nevertheless, it’s said that

Arsenal believes they have the upper hand in keeping Saliba and is “unfazed” by rumors of Madrid’s interest. Saliba is a valuable member of the first team and is settled, so the Gunners think his new contract gives them an advantage in keeping him.

Saliba is thought to have a strong affinity for Arsenal, which gives the Gunners even more reason to hold onto him. Saliba and Gabriel have developed a strong friendship, and as of right now, Arsenal is a strong contender to unseat Man City in the Premier League. Arsenal must hold onto Saliba. Although every player in sport has a price, William Saliba must continue to be a member of the Arsenal team if Mikel Arteta’s team is to succeed.

The reason Madrid wants Saliba is obvious given his rising star power in recent seasons. However, Arsenal is a rising team, and losing Saliba would be disastrous because titles and trophies are just a stone’s throw away. Saliba’s status and standing within the club make it most advantageous for him to stay in London at this time as well.
