French defender, William Saliba must earn a move to Real Madrid by winning trophies at Arsenal, Julio Baptista has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, even if Saliba is clearly one of the world’s best CBs at such a young age, he has to become a champion in England before Real Madrid will take a potential transfer seriously.
Julio added that William has been a big part of Arsenal’s improvement over the years, and his partnership with Gabriel is formidable.
His words, “A lot has changed for players now. Before you get to a huge club like Real Madrid, you need to show more. It’s not like five, ten games to show what you can do. You need to be one of the best players in the world season after season to earn the respect and the interest of a club like Real Madrid. I think for Saliba, there is no doubt that he is one of the world’s best CBs. He’s been a big part of Arsenal’s improvement over the years and has formed a formidable partnership alongside Gabriel, but I would like to see him lift a trophy with Arsenal before he leaves. If Saliba can keep showing that he has incredible quality, maybe we’ll see Real Madrid coming for him in the future, but he should only be thinking about winning trophies and becoming a champion with Arsenal at the moment.”
WOW.
