Real Madrid are reportedly considering a move for Arsenal defender William Saliba next year.

Spanish publication Fichajes claims the Madrid giants are interested in the France international, who has had two strong seasons in London.

However, the Gunners will look to keep the highly-rated center-back, who has a contract that runs until 2027.

The Spaniards reportedly sent scouts to monitor the 23-year-old during Arsenal's 2-0 win over Aston Villa.

Saliba has 86 appearances with Arsenal across all competitions so far.

His current market value is at €80 million, according to Transfermarkt.
