It’s understood the Spanish giants view Saliba as the perfect man to help overhaul their aging and injury-prone backline.
Now, the same publication is saying that new Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta has opened talks with Saliba over a new deal at the club in the hopes of avoiding what happened with PSG and Mbappe.
Madrid are willing to wait for Saliba if they have to, with the Frenchman having just two years left on his current deal in North London.
