William Saliba (2)

[DiamondGooner]

He’s transitioning to Real Madrid.

Yeah I think he will however he's under contract so come with £100m or gtfo.

That's not how Real work. It starts with the destabilizing of a player, then there's the lucrative offer to his agent, followed by Real players openly discussing it. That's how the big two in Liga operate and are very successful. They did it with prime Ronaldo when Fergie was the boss. They did it with Cesc when he was the shining star of Wenger's project. And they will do it with Saliba.

Well you're not wrong, but he's still not going anywhere unless we get good money.

Says he wants to stay

[alexis2015finalgoal]

What else is he gonna say? He might not leave now, but then he's still young and has time to wait and see. He's 23 now. if we win nothing major by the time he's 25 or 26, then he's off.

[Goonerfromafrica]

Well that gives us two more seasons then at least, compared to losing him this summer

Can anybody blame him.???

3 seasons in a row we’ve missed out on the league title, If we don’t win the CL this season Madrid will turn his head and get him to run down his 2027 contract, like they’ve done with Mbappe and Trent.

Would you swap Saliba for Mbappe? I would.

[Highbury Hillbilly]

Would you swap Saliba for Mbappe? I would.

He's not a pure CF, so I can see him getting turned into a touchlne-hugging winger like Martinelli, going from 25 league goals to 8-9.

Mbappe ain't built for Arsenal, Arteta has no clue in the fkn universe as to what a striker looks like otherwise we would be watching Isack every week and shining trophys
