The centre-back established himself as one of Europe&#8217;s top defenders and was on the Spanish giants&#8217; radar, but he now makes a new deal with the Emirates.<\/p>\n<p>Contract negotiations began in May, with gunners trying to secure a defensive lynchpin that helped them rise under Mikel Arteta. Saliba, who first joined Arsenal in 2019, enjoyed three loan spells in France before being combined into Arsenal&#8217;s first team three years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Saliba quelled the questions surrounding his future earlier this year, stating he is happy with Arsenal amid growing interest from record-breaking European champions. He said he is keen to win silverware at Emirates Stadium and is not yet planning to move on.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid has a track record of snapping players as their contracts approaches the end &#8211; Antonio Rudiger, Killian Mbappe and Trent Alexander Arnold were key examples, keeping an eye on Saliba&#8217;s situation. However, the French have always expressed his satisfaction in London and are ready to demonstrate his commitment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Last season, Saliba finished second in the Premier League in his third year and advanced to the Champions League semi-finals, making 51 appearances for Arsenal. The centre-back was frank and honest when he quized his desire to put the pen on paper in March.<\/p>\n<p>Once the extension is officially completed, Saliba will be the latest in a long line of major Arsenal players to commit to the club with a long-term future. Centre-back partner Gabriel signed fresh terms in the summer, while Ethan Nuwaneri, Miles Lewis Skelly and Leandro Torosard have all signed new deals in recent months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Given the French have developed a solid relationship with Arteta, it is no surprise that Saliba is keen to stick to North London. Praising the Spanish coach&#8217;s job, Saliba told L&#8217;Equipe last year: &#8220;He taught me to be good at beinghave.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sometimes he thought I was a little soft in my training, so he asked me to be mean. In fact, he wants to scare players when he sees me. He took me to another level. He&#8217;s one of the best coaches in the world. He looks at all the details and gets defeated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/2113248\/Arsenal-William-Saliba-contract-transfer-Real-madrid\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>William Saliba will commit his future to Arsenal by signing a new long-term contract despite interest from Real Madrid.
