Due to an injury crisis, Real Madrid is eager to bolster their alternatives in January, which is why they are also considering the 18-year-old. Aurelien Tchouameni has 
been forced to play as a centre-back, leaving a gap in midfield, and Real are hoping to reinforce their squad with a young player like Coulibaly.However,
Defensa Central report that the European champions have encountered a problem with the Gunners currently “in the front row” to buy the teenager.What information regarding the player should Arsenal supporters know? Coulibaly gained notoriety for the first time last year while representing Mali in the Under 17 World Cup. His nation advanced to the semi-finals before falling to France, and he started all seven of their matches. In the playoff for third place, they also defeated Argentina. A few months later, the midfielder was signed by NK Kustosija. The Croatian team has a history of acquiring young talent; prior to Barcelona purchasing the defender last year, they had also signed Mika Faye.It would be interesting to see whether Arsenal can beat Real and Barca to get Coulibaly because the latter is rumored to be seeking the midfielder as well. Real has also been connected to a defender for the Gunners. Due to their dearth of defensive options, stories have surfaced suggesting that Madrid would try to sign William Saliba during a later transfer window. There have even been rumors that the La Liga team has spoken with the defender’s agents. Respected reporter Fabrizio Romano, however, has downplayed the connections, asserting that the center-half is “100% focused” on Arsenal at the moment. Saliba will remain at the Emirates until 2027 according to his contract.
