Arsenal close to renewing Saliba

Arsenal defender William Saliba has made a good start to the season under Mikel Arteta. After his time at Olympique Marseille last year, he convinced the Spaniard of his potential, which is why they want to renew him.

According to 'The Times,' the Gunners are close to extending the French centre-back's contract. The intention of the London club is for the former Nice defender to sign a contract until June 2027.

Meanwhile, Saliba wants his salary to be considerably higher than his current one. Thus, Arsenal's offer will have to be very attractive in order to keep the French player away from top clubs such as Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

The talented centre-back's contract expires in June 2024 and at the end of this season he could be facing his final year of his contract.
