The report adds that Real Madrid will test the waters with a bid for Saliba in the coming months as they seek to bolster their aging backline.
Saliba is a priority target for Real with the La Liga club seeing him as a real leader, something they believe they’re in need of.
Real Madrid have had to deal with several serious defensive injuries with David Alaba, Eder Militao and Daniel Carvajal all missing significant parts of the season.
