In a recent press conference, Arsenal defender William Saliba addressed growing speculation about a potential move to Real Madrid. While he expressed deep respect for the Spanish giants, he made it clear that any departure from Arsenal would depend on one key factor: his desire to be a regular starter.
Saliba emphasized that playing time is crucial for his growth and development, stating, “I want to play among the first XI,” highlighting that being a consistent starter is non-negotiable for him.
Since arriving at Arsenal, Saliba has become a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta’s defense, impressing with his exceptional performances and maturity. His rise has naturally attracted attention from top clubs across Europe, including Real Madrid. However, Saliba’s focus remains on playing regularly, and unless another club can offer him the same level of trust and responsibility that he enjoys at Arsenal, he seems committed to staying in North London.
With the January transfer window approaching, speculation about Saliba’s future is expected to increase. Yet, his priority remains clear: he is not willing to sacrifice his playing time for a move to any club, no matter how prestigious. His commitment to Arsenal and his development as a player appear to outweigh the allure of a potential move to Madrid. For now, Saliba’s focus will remain on helping Arsenal in their pursuit of silverware this season.
