Saliba is a priority target for Los Blancos in the summer..
Real Madrid are reportedly plotting the signing of Arsenal centre-back William Saliba in the summer window.
Los Blancos feel that the Frenchman will be a perfect addition to their backline, adding more depth and long-term assurances to the defence.
Saliba has enjoyed an impressive career for Arsenal and has helped them keep 13 clean sheets in 33 appearances so far this season.
The 23-year-old has earned a lot of plaudits from Antonio Rudiger in the past. The German defender even claimed earlier this season that he’d sign Saliba for Real Madrid if given the chance.
The Frenchman is an ideal partner for an aggressive centre-back like Rudiger. The Arsenal man likes to play as a cover defender who sticks behind to make important clearances.
He is also physically adept to win key duels, as well as boasting an impressive passing ability to move the ball forward too.
IF Real Madrid are somehow able to sign Saliba, then he’s likely to be partnered up with Rudiger in the starting XI next season. Here’s how Los Blancos XI can look with Saliba.
Real Madrid potential XI with William Saliba: Courtois, Carvajal/Trent, Saliba, Rudiger, Mendy, Valverde, Tchouameni, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vini Jr, Mbappe
