Saliba to Real Madrid... But Not Until 2027? Long-Term Plan Revealed

 

REAL MADRID'S SALIBA BLUEPRINT LEAKED: SPANISH GIANTS WILL WAIT UNTIL 2027 TO PAIR ARSENAL STAR WITH KYLIAN MBAPPE

📝 Real Madrid are reportedly laying the groundwork for a future swoop for Arsenal centre-back William Saliba, with the Spanish giants willing to play the long game — even waiting until 2027 to secure his signature.

🇫🇷 Why Saliba?

🔐 Defensive Masterclass: The 23-year-old has emerged as one of the Premier League's most reliable defenders, forming the backbone of Mikel Arteta’s title-challenging side.

🤝 Mbappé Link-Up: Madrid are eyeing a future French core — uniting Saliba with incoming superstar Kylian Mbappé, alongside Eduardo Camavinga and Aurélien Tchouaméni.

💎 Long-Term Project: With Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba approaching the twilight of their careers, Saliba is viewed as a marquee long-term replacement.

📅 Timeline & Strategy

🗓️ 2027 Patience: Saliba is under contract until 2027, and Arsenal have no intention of selling — but Madrid are prepared to wait until the final year of his deal, when the price could be significantly reduced.

🔎 Scouting & Monitoring: The club’s recruitment team continues to track Saliba’s performances closely, with internal reports consistently rating him as one of Europe’s top young defenders.

🔐 Arsenal’s Stance

❌ Not for Sale: The Gunners see Saliba as non-negotiable and a key piece of their long-term project.

💰 Big Offer Needed: If Real want to test their resolve earlier, it would take a bid well over £100m to even start a conversation.
