Real Madrid eyes William Saliba as Dean Huijsen signs five‑year deal

Real Madrid are reported to be pursuing Arsenal defender William Saliba, with Barcelona and Paris Saint‑Germain also monitoring the French centre‑back. Arsenal are said to reject offers below €150 million and intend to keep Saliba until the end of his contract in 2030, making a move difficult for the Spanish club.

In a separate move, Real Madrid have completed the signing of Dutch centre‑back Dean Huijsen from Bournemouth on a five‑year contract. Huijsen, born in Amsterdam but raised in Marbella, Spain, joins the squad as a generational defensive prospect and will be available for the Club World Cup.
