Real Madrid ‘have kept a positive relationship’ with Arsenal star’s agents | OneFootball

The brass at La Liga giants Real Madrid have long maintained a close relationship with the entourage of a leading member of the defensive ranks at Arsenal.

That’s according to The Athletic, who point towards William Saliba as the player in question.

The name of stopper Saliba has of course long proven a prominent one in the media chatter surrounding Real Madrid.

This comes with the France international, amid an ongoing search for central defensive reinforcements on the part of Los Blancos, having been earmarked as a leading target.

A deal for Saliba, for the time being at least, remains highly unlikely, owing to the massive price-tag attached to his name by Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.

As alluded to above, though, this has not stopped Florentino Pérez and co. from keeping alive regular contact with the representatives of the former Saint-Etienne man.

As per a report from The Athletic, in fact, with a view to a potential future swoop for his signature:

‘Real Madrid have kept a positive relationship with the 24-year-old’s entourage.’
