Real Madrid is still willing to pay 120 million euros for Saliba, who fell from the altar?

According to Spanish media Defensa Central, Real Madrid, which won the double championship in La Liga and Champions League last season, is likely to face an embarrassing ending this season.

Real Madrid, which learned from his mistakes, spared no expenses and was preparing to recruit soldiers this summer. Arsenal center-back Saliba became the main target of Lafayette's strengthening the defense.

Saliba's existing contract will expire in 2027, but Real Madrid, which has always been committed to introducing midfielders for free, obviously can't wait. After being rejected last summer, they are preparing to pursue again this summer.

However, Arsenal's position is clear and will only consider sitting down to negotiate when the bid reaches their target value of 120 million euros.

Interestingly, Real Madrid's motivation for introducing Saliba not only comes from the board of directors. It is reported that Mbappe also played a role in fueling the fire and tried his best to recommend his French national teammates to the Bernabeu senior management.

From the perspective of Arsenal, with the Champions League semi-finals being eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain in the early morning of this morning, Arteta's team failed to win for several consecutive seasons, making it difficult for them to retain the young players in the team who have pursuits.

As for Real Madrid, although the team's need to strengthen defense is urgent, especially with frequent injuries and increasingly serious lineup aging, Lafayette is really willing to pay a sky-high transfer fee of 120 million euros for a defender?

After all, in the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals, Saliba fell from the altar and lost her performance. She no longer had the same performance as a stabilizing needle in the past. She was one of the culprits for the team's double-kill at home and away games.
