Arsenal defender William Saliba has revealed why he rejected a potential move to Real Madrid. The French international emphasized his commitment to winning major trophies with the Gunners before considering any transfer.
Saliba’s Arsenal Loyalty
After signing a new long-term contract with Arsenal, Saliba admitted Real Madrid’s interest was tempting. The 23-year-old told Telefoot: “Of course it’s tempting when such a club wants you. But I aim to win titles with Arsenal first.”
The defender has become crucial to Mikel Arteta’s defense. His commitment boosts Arsenal’s Premier League title challenge. The Gunners currently lead by six points after ten matches.
Kane’s Potential Barcelona Switch
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane is reportedly considering a move to Barcelona. According to Catalan outlet Sport, the England captain will decide his future this summer.
The 32-year-old has a £57 million release clause activating next summer. Kane has scored 17 goals across competitions this season. Barcelona are prepared to match his wages.
Several Premier League clubs also monitor Kane’s situation. They may present more lucrative offers. His Bayern contract runs until 2027, but speculation grows about his next move.
