Real Madrid's interest in Arsenal defender William Saliba has reached new heights, with transfer expert Fabrizio Romano revealing that the Spanish giants see Saliba as the "defensive version" of Jude Bellingham.

According to Romano, the Spanish club has been impressed with the 22-year-old Frenchman, considering him a "superstar" who could strengthen their defensive ranks for years to come.

Saliba has established himself as one of the Premier League's best defenders under Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, showing his discipline, technical qualities and leadership skills.


His impressive performances have caught the attention of Real Madrid, who believe he would be an ideal long-term defensive investment.

With Antonio Rudiger and David Alaba approaching the latter stages of their careers, Saliba's technical ability and defensive organisation make him an attractive replacement.
