Arsenal is facing the potential exit of William Saliba, who has been pivotal in their defense under Mikel Arteta and is in talks with Real Madrid. This development has raised concerns for the club, which has been struggling with injuries among key defenders like Takehiro Tomiyasu and Ben White. Although Saliba and his defensive partner Gabriel have contracts expiring in 2027, there's a likelihood of losing at least one of them soon. Consequently, Arsenal has initiated discussions to acquire Cristhian Mosquera from Valencia as a proactive measure to strengthen their backline.
Saliba, ranked as one of the world's top centre-backs, has been key to Arsenal's defensive stability. With Real Madrid interested, Arsenal now must plan for a potential exit.
Arsenal's priority remains to extend contracts for Saliba and Gabriel until 2027, but they face losing one defender soon amid ongoing injury concerns.
