Overview
- Paris Saint-Germain have lodged a bid close to €100 million for centre-back William Saliba, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes as relayed by CaughtOffside and Football365.
- Reports claim Saliba would welcome a return to France, and PSG are said to be confident they can persuade him to join.
- Arsenal hold Saliba on a contract to 2030, and reports say Mikel Arteta views him as crucial to his system, which points to strong resistance to any sale.
- Separate reporting says Real Madrid have turned to Saliba’s partner Gabriel, with Sports Boom described as calling their interest serious and likely to prompt a sizeable offer.
- Fichajes also reports Luis Enrique sees Saliba as an ideal partner for Willian Pacho at PSG, a move that would force Arsenal to weigh a record fee against the core of their defense.
