Is the transfer achievable? Yes but very difficult …
Arsenal does not wish to separate from one of its major players this summer. And let the clear message across that it will not set an amount for a possible transfer. In the construction of his project, which must lead the club to win the Premier League or even C1, Arteta cannot afford to lose Subala. But, as often on the transfer market, everything is a question of price and discussions between the different parties. English leaders also know that leaving, in the summer of 2026, Saliba with a single year of contract, is a big risk.
How will Arteta and his leaders react if the player were to ask for his departure? What will be their answer if Real Madrid, which does not have an extensible financial surface, arrives with a three -digit offer to convince it? The valuation of French is located today above 100 M €. These will be the crucial questions of the next few weeks. Can another hypothesis emerge? Very fond of free players in recent seasons (Alaba, Mbappé, or even soon Alexander-Arnold), Real Madrid, if he sees that the Saliba operation is impractical in the short term, can he be tempted to wait to recruit the French? This hypothesis is not to be excluded completely. But that would force the Spanish club to orient itself on a less expensive recruitment this summer.
