Real Madrid continues to face defensive problems following Éder Militão's injury. The Brazilian defender's multiple injuries, coupled with the uncertainty over his return date, have caused the club to look for immediate solutions.
Carlo Ancelotti needs to strengthen the center of defense with a reliable player and, in the current market, there aren't many options. Faced with this situation, Madrid has decided to act quickly and prepare a significant offer for a renowned center-back.
Real Madrid Looking for a Reliable Center-back
Militão's absence, which has left a void in Real Madrid's defense, has put the club on alert. With players such as Antonio Rüdiger and David Alaba covering the central positions, the squad continues to feel the lack of depth in that critical area. Ancelotti and his coaching staff need a solid center-back who can compete on all fronts.
With this problem, the Merengue club has set its sights on the Premier League, specifically on Arsenal. The London team has two top-level center-backs who have stood out under Mikel Arteta. However, Madrid's attention has focused on one of them: William Saliba.
William Saliba, Real Madrid's chosen one
William Saliba has had a stellar season at Arsenal, being one of the defensive pillars of the team. The Frenchman has proven to be one of the best center-backs in the Premier League, with a combination of technique, speed and power that has caught the attention of several big clubs. Despite having Gabriel Magalhães as a teammate in defense, Saliba is Real Madrid's favorite to strengthen its squad.
Mikel Arteta has tried to keep Saliba as a key part of his project, but Real Madrid's interest is hard to ignore.
With a significant offer in the mix, Arsenal could find it in a difficult situation. The club's intention is clear: to offer a significant sum of money to settle Saliba's, and ensure the defensive stability that Ancelotti's team so badly needs.
Antonio Rüdiger Endorses Saliba's
A few days ago, Antonio Rüdiger, one of the current defenders of the white club, publicly praised the Frenchman. In an interview, Rüdiger stated that if he could choose a transfer, it would undoubtedly be William Saliba. This endorsement by a teammate reinforces the idea that Saliba is the ideal candidate to fill the position that Militão has left vacant.
