Arsenal 'willing to let William Saliba leave for €30m'

Arsenal are supposedly ready to part ways with in-demand defender William Saliba for as little as €30m (£24.9m) this summer.

The centre-back is still waiting for his senior debut for the club but is thriving on loan at Marseille, which represents his third stint away from Arsenal after previous loans with Saint-Etienne and Nice.

Marseille are thought to be desperate to sign Saliba on a permanent deal, but the 20-year-old is reportedly keen to return to Arsenal as Mikel Arteta prepares to integrate him into the first team.

However, Italian outlet Calciomercato now claims that a fee of €30m (£24.9m) could tempt the Gunners into a sale amid links with Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

The report adds that Saliba's agent Niang Djibril is 'forging relationships' with several clubs across Europe, but Arsenal are under little pressure to sell with his contract expiring in 2024.

Saliba has made 29 appearances for Marseille in all competitions this season under Jorge Sampaoli, but the 20-year-old's only games for Arsenal so far have come for the Under-23s.
