The Gunners are actively in talks with the French international's representatives to finalize a new long-term deal. The push for an agreement comes as Real Madrid and other top European clubs continue to monitor Saliba's situation. According to reports, Arsenal's new sporting director, Andrea Berta, is prioritizing the contract to fend off potential suitors and ensure the defender remains a cornerstone of the club's project.
Saliba, who has become one of the most highly-rated centre-backs in the world, is currently contracted until 2027. Arsenal's confidence stems from a belief that the player is keen to remain in North London and continue to be a part of Mikel Arteta's squad.
