At 23, William Saliba could play at the top level for many years to come. He is said to be on Real Madrid's radar. The Spanish side are facing serious problems in defence with David Alaba, Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal all suffering serious injuries, with two of the three players out for long periods.

The Bernabeu club are targeting Laporte, who plays in Saudi Arabia. They have also expressed an interest in bringing Saliba to the Bernabeu. Real Madrid appreciate Saliba's potential and see him as a long-term solution, capable of carrying the defence for the next decade.

Arsenal have announced that they will not let William Saliba leave in January, no matter how big the offer. The Gunners also consider Saliba to be a pillar of the team for many years to come. In addition, while Mikel Arteta is still in charge at Arsenal, he will definitely not let him leave.

Arsenal have been hit by a series of injuries and suspensions this season, which has made it even more important for them to keep Saliba. With the current situation, the possibility of Real signing the French centre-back in January is almost impossible.
