Romano has also made it clear that Arsenal want to keep Saliba and view the France international as a crucial part of their long-term project.
It seems it won’t be easy for Real Madrid or anyone else to prise Saliba away from Arsenal, though the Gunners could undoubtedly do with tying the 23-year-old down to a new contract as soon as possible.
Saliba’s new Arsenal contract will surely be a priority for the club’s next sporting director, as Charles Watts reported for us yesterday.
Saliba certainly seems like someone who’d fit the bill as a Galactico signing for Real Madrid, who have so often signed the best players in the world and built some incredible teams.
Los Blancos might not be close to a deal at the moment, but it seems clear from listening to Romano that there are key figures inside the Bernabeu who have discussed him and rate him highly.
“There is no doubt that people internally at Real Madrid see William Saliba as a superstar,” Romano said.
“A fantastic defender. I would say this is one of the best defenders in the world – they really appreciate William Saliba.
