Report: Arsenal earmark William Saliba replacement as £80m Man City, Liverpool battle emerges

release clause of £80m, which Leipzig are demanding is paid in full if he is to depart.

Such a fee would represent the joint-biggest transfer for a defender in history, level with the £80m that Manchester United paid Leicester City to sign Harry Maguire five years ago.

Arsenal could free up space for Lukeba by offloading one of their current out-of-favour defenders in Jakub Kiwior, although it will reportedly take a 'large cheque' for the Gunners to let the Pole leave in 2025.

Takehiro Tomiyasu is also an interesting one to watch heading into the New Year, as the Japan international's contract expires in 2026, and he has only played once in the current campaign due to injury.
