The revelation that Real Madrid is eyeing the Arsenal centre-back has become one of the next batch of important targets(YAJING)

Saliba is a target for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has long been linked with star players. The reason is their strong financial and sporting position, which allows them to always target the best players from other clubs.

Recently, Spanish media Fichajes reported that the Spanish giants are looking to sign Saliba, who has enjoyed two successful seasons at Arsenal.

Led by Mikel Arteta, Saliba has formed an excellent partnership with Gabriel Magallians at Arsenal. The Gunners do not want to lose the 23-year-old, whose contract expires in 2027.

Real Madrid are understood to have sent scouts to Arsenal's 2-0 win over Aston Villa to see if Saliba would fit into their squad.

Saliba is also currently at the heart of the French national defence. He will play for the Gallic Roosters in the second round of the Nations League group stage against Belgium on September 9.

In addition to Saliba, Real have identified several targets that will be targeted in the summer of 2025 transfer window, including Manchester City's Rodri and Bayer Leverkusen's young talent Florian Wertz.
