But Saliba's future has been the subject of some speculation in recent months, with the centre-back attracting strong interest from La Liga giants Madrid. A recent report from Cadena SER suggested Saliba had been placed at the top of Madrid's wishlist in what has been dubbed 'Operation 2026'. Though Arsenal's valuation is seen as a potential 'problem', Los Blancos are said to be preparing formal talks with both the Gunners and the Frenchman's camp.
