Now, William Saliba is the latest figure to be linked with a move to Los Blancos ahead of the upcoming summer transfer window. The La Liga side completed a blockbuster deal for Kylian Mbappe last summer, and they will be looking to strengthen once again.

It’s no that Europe’s top clubs are interested in Saliba. And RMC Sport claim Real have made Saliba their “priority” transfer target ahead of the 2025/26 season.

Although Saliba is said to be intrigued by the of joining Real Madrid, it could take a club-record fee to sign him. Of course, that’s not something Real are too worried about.

Carlo Ancelotti will also bolster his defence with the addition of Trent Alexander-Arnold. Real Madrid failed in their attempts to bring the 26-year-old to the Bernabeu in January, but will take the chance in the summer.
