FABRIZIO ROMANO confirms £83 million rated star WILL BE An Arsenal player after transfer message issued!
Italian Journalist Romano has addressed the rumours surrounding William Saliba’s future, which particularly sprung into some uncertainty following Antonio Rudiger’s interview.
The Frenchman has established himself as a key player and regular under manager Mikel Arteta over the last two campaigns, playing a crucial role in their last two campaigns as they finished second behind Manchester City in the Premier League table.
He is one of the big reasons why ARSENAL have been so defensively good over the past few seasons, and his partnership with Gabriel is arguably one of the very best in the Premier League and maybe even the Champions League.
There was some speculation that both Real Madrid and PSG were keen on trying to sign the Frenchman in the January window, but Arsenal do not want him to leave, and the player himself has no desire to depart the Emirates right now.
Romano wrote: “I can say there is absolutely nothing going on with Saliba and any other club. Back in the summer we had rumours about Saliba and PSG, and about Spanish clubs, but the reality is that he never considered leaving Arsenal. He extended his contract in summer 2023, and he remains very happy with life at the club, it’s fantastic for him there.
“Saliba can see the ambition under manager Mikel Arteta, and he can see how important he is in the project.
“It’s obvious that Saliba would have admirers from other big players as he’s one of the best centre-backs in the world, but it’s a compliment for the player, but nothing more than that. Saliba is very happy at Arsenal and they are very happy with him, so the intention is to continue together for the long term.”
