Saliba Prioritizes Guaranteed Playing Time Amid Real Madrid Interest
William Saliba has made it clear that his top priority is consistent playing time, stating he would not consider a move unless assured of a regular starting role. "I cannot imagine joining a club where I am not a key player," he emphasized, highlighting the importance of game time for his development and impact.
Reports suggest that Real Madrid is eyeing defensive reinforcements for the summer transfer window, with Saliba’s standout performances for Arsenal catching their attention. However, breaking into Madrid’s defense could be a challenge due to strong competition from their established center-backs.
Despite the interest, Saliba remains content at Arsenal, praising the trust he has received from the coaching staff and his strong relationship with teammates. “I am happy at Arsenal. The club has shown faith in me, and I feel central to our projects,” he said, adding that any decision about his future will be made carefully, considering both professional and personal factors.
As the summer transfer window nears, it remains uncertain whether Real Madrid will meet Saliba’s demands or if he will continue his journey with Arsenal.
