Arsenal has offered William Saliba a new five-year deal amid interest from major clubs, including Real Madrid, to keep the talented defender at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal has made a bold move to secure the future of its star defender, William Saliba, by offering him a new five-year contract. The 24-year-old French international has been a key player for the Gunners since the 2022-23 campaign and has shown immense potential to become one of the best defenders in the world. 

With his current deal set to expire in 2027, Arsenal is keen to tie him down to prevent other top clubs, including Real Madrid, from snapping him up for free.

The offer would reportedly make Saliba one of the highest earners at the club. Talks between Saliba and Arsenal have been ongoing for a while, and it’s believed that the defender will expect a substantial increase in his current wages if an agreement is reached.

Saliba’s partnership with Gabriel Magalhaes has been instrumental in Arsenal’s defensive success, and his absence due to injury has been felt by the team. With the likes of Manchester City and Newcastle United coming up in the Premier League fixtures, Saliba’s return would be a massive boost for Arsenal.

These contract extension talks are happening simultaneously with other key players, including Bukayo Saka, who is also out of contract in 2027. Arsenal is working hard to retain its top talent and build a strong squad for the future. With the recent signings of Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, and Piero Hincapie, Arsenal is looking to strengthen its team in all areas.
