William Saliba contract latest
Arsenal are hopeful that they will be able to hold down William Saliba to a new contract in north London, according to transfer guru Ben Jacobs.
“The PSG interest is very real, as I’ve said many times over the last year,” Jacobs told GiveMeSport. “They have one clear goal: buy young and, if possible, buy French.”
“However, Arsenal remains confident that a deal will be completed because Saliba is settled at the club.”
According to trade expert Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray right-back Sacha Boey, who has been linked with a summer move to Arsenal, will cost €25 million (£21.6 million).
“At the moment, I’m just told that Boey is aware of the terms of the deal, which has a €25 million (£21.6 million) price tag,” Romano told GiveMeSport.
“I’m not aware of any direct contract between Arsenal and his agent in terms of negotiations, so at the moment it’s still a quiet situation.”
