Overview

• Arsenal have presented William Saliba with improved contract terms in their push to secure a new long‑term deal, according to multiple reports.
• Talks are ongoing and there is internal confidence of reaching an agreement, per reporting relayed from Pete O’Rourke.
• Saliba’s representatives have requested an urgent meeting to seek better conditions, as reported by IndyKaila and cited by OneFootball.
• Real Madrid are closely tracking the defender’s situation and are reported to view Ibrahima Konate as a fallback option if Saliba renews.
