Real Madrid Set to Make Summer Move for Arsenal Defender William Saliba

Nacho Fernández, 34, departed Real Madrid for the Saudi Pro League last summer, leaving a void in the team that has yet to be filled.

Real Madrid wanted Leny Yoro, 18, but were not ready to pay the money that Lille demanded.

The teen ended up at Manchester United instead. And now Real Madrid are focusing on Saliba in the search for a new centre-back.

However, it will not be easy to get a deal done as Saliba is an important cog for the Gunners. The 23-year-old's contract with Arsenal runs until the summer of 2027.
