Fabrizio Romano on William Saliba staying at Arsenal

According to the director of the Arsenal Mike Artta director, the main role in William Saliba played and signing a new contract instead of moving to Real Madrid.

According to Fabrizio Romano, in his interview with the men in Plies on YouTube, the Gunners coach fully participated in the work that the club tried to ensure that Saliba had committed his future to the giants north of London.

Romano has made it clear that Real Madrid really wanted Saliba, as he saw that he was the presence of Pelengham to defense, but it seems that they did not open talks to a deal.

France is now residing in Arsenal, and Romano has given an insight into how they were able to keep it.

In an episode focused on Arsenal, Romano praised the work of the last club and spoke specifically about Saliba at some point.

“I think in this case for Arsenal, the wonderful news is about maintaining Saliba, but to close this issue already directly at the end of September, the beginning of October is a special thing,” said Romano.

“Distinguished because you avoid problems with all speculation, with all the rumors of the media, with all the possibilities because (IT) was not speculation about Real Madrid, (IT) was true.

“Real Madrid wanted William Saliba. Real Madrid considered William Saliba as a possible goal for the future. They have never started any negotiations or any tangible talk because you could not do this clearly with two years remaining in his contract, and because Arsenal never wanted to entertain any negotiation and discussion.

“But in the negotiations and internal discussions at Real Madrid Saliba, it was always mentioned as one of the potential goals if he did not provide his contract in Arsenal.

“We always say here that Real Madrid sees Saliba as Pelesham for defenders, but the ball is at Arsenal.

“Saliba really wanted to stay. Arteta was completely involved in this process, as he was talking directly to the player, and brought him behind the scenes to what they wanted to do for the present but also in the future.

“Thus this type of project that I think was sold by Arsenal to William Saliba, the really latest team, and it is also clear that the financial proposal he improved at the end of August to persuade William Saliba.”

Arsenal preserving Saliba is a huge batch

It goes without saying that Saliba is one of the best backs in the center, and it was a major part of Arsenal’s last rise to become the competitors of the Premier League title again.

The cannons went to a real decrease in the era of Arsene Wenger in the last part of his rule, while Unai Emery also proved that it is an universal date after the French who has been serving for a long time.

However, ARTETA operated matters, including Saliba in his first plans in 2022/23 after loan attacks have proven to be a major blow.
