Saliba is willing to take a pay cut to join Real Madrid

Centre-back William Saliba is reportedly willing to take a pay cut or sacrifice part of his income to facilitate a move to Real Madrid.

Saliba has aspirations of joining Real Madrid.

According to Marca , although Saliba's contract with Arsenal runs until 2027, the player is still excited about the prospect of playing for Real Madrid. Saliba considers Real Madrid his dream and is willing to do anything to play for the Bernabeu.

If he comes to Real Madrid, Saliba will also have the opportunity to play alongside fellow Frenchmen such as Mbappe, Camavinga, Tchouameni and Mendy. Real President Florentino Perez highly rates Saliba. The Spanish Royal Club's board of directors considers him to be the world's leading central defender, suitable for Real Madrid's criteria.

However, Saliba also does not want to cause conflict with Arsenal, the team he has been with since 2019. El Pais revealed that Real Madrid began negotiations with Saliba's representatives since last summer. The "Los Blancos" leadership received positive feedback from the player's relatives and representatives. Real Madrid plans to recruit the French midfielder.

The La Liga side could pay more than £85m (€100m) for the Arsenal star, which would be a record transfer fee for a centre-back.

Harry Maguire is currently the most expensive centre-back of all time, having moved from Leicester City to Manchester United in 2019 for £80m. However, the deal will only happen if Saliba is willing to make financial sacrifices, allowing Los Blancos to focus all their efforts on making a bid for Arsenal.
