“I WANT TO WIN EVERYTHING AT ARSENAL!”
William Saliba made his intentions crystal clear to Real Madrid’s President, stating, “I want to win everything at Arsenal. I want to become a legend here.” These bold words underline the young defender’s commitment to his club and his ambition to leave a lasting legacy in North London.
The Frenchman has rapidly evolved into a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal setup, earning widespread admiration for his composure on the ball, ability to play out from the back, and commanding presence in defense. These attributes caught the attention of Real Madrid’s scouting network, who saw him as a potential successor to their aging defensive stalwarts.
However, Arsenal held firm against any overtures, despite Real Madrid’s immense financial resources and their promise of trophies. Saliba’s recent contract extension with the Gunners further solidified his future with the club, signaling Arsenal’s determination to keep him at the heart of their plans.
While Arsenal has historically seen some of its top talents lured away by Europe’s elite clubs, Saliba’s situation seems different. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano dismissed current rumors of Paris Saint-Germain’s interest, stating, “At this stage, there’s no substance to the idea of PSG making a major move for Saliba. Although his exceptional talent will always draw attention, Arsenal fans can rest easy for now.”
For Gunners supporters, Saliba’s unwavering dedication is a promising sign of a bright future.
