Trusted journalist gives update on Saliba-PSG reports

Saliba would be unlikely to consider an approach from PSG at the moment anyway, considering how his current team performed against the Parisians just this week.

The defender was part of a comfortable and confident 2-0 win over Ligue 1’s premier side, so a move to PSG would feel like a step down.

There’s obviously the French connection there, with Saliba having been raised in Paris and receiving coaching from Kylian Mbappe’s father as a child. But in footballing terms, Arsenal have the superior side at the moment.

Saliba has a contract with Arsenal until 2027, and you’d think the club will want to extend that stay as soon as the player is open to hold talks. At 23, he should still have many years left at the top.

But for the next couple of years at least, there should be no debate over the defender’s future.
