The young Frenchman wants to make the leap to a great European and approach Qatar 2022
Scouring the market for defenders, the coach of the Athletic, Diego Simeonhas run into what may be the new Diego Godin of your current template. The player in question is owned by the Arsenal but right now he plays for Olympique de Marseille. The French team does not have a purchase option and the Gunner team does not have it.
His name is William Saliba and it’s natural Seine-Saint-Denis, France. The defender is 21 years old, but already has the basic knowledge of an elite defender. In fact, the Mr. mattress He has dared to compare him with the Uruguayan defender in his best days when he defended the red and white jersey.
Without a place at Arsenal and outside of Marseille’s plans, Atlético is getting ready to sign the new Godín
The defender will not be in the French team beyond this summer, not because of his performance, but because of the economic impossibility that seizes Marseille. The defender accumulates 4,045 minutes in the squad directed by Jorge Sampaoli, and is its starter without discussion. The fact is that Arsenal is asking for an amount of money for the purchase of his pass, which the French team is not willing to pay.
The possibility that he will return to the artillery club is also nil, since White, Gabriel, and Holding are still present in Arteta’s plans. In this way, the English squad is waiting for offers, and in the next few days the one from Atlético could arrive, which is very interested in adding a defender with those conditions.
The main sacrificed in Atlético to make way for the new Godín
Right now on the Argentine coach’s agenda, there are two names that may not be in the 2022-23 squad. One of them is Felipe and the other Mario Hermoso. Both defenders have shown a low level that is not acceptable and even less so for a team like Atlético. The Brazilian had been talking about his departure, but the man from Madrid has entered the discard folder in recent weeks.
William Saliba would arrive in the summer market as the star defender that the mattress club needs, and incidentally to relieve either the carioca or the former merengue. The operation would close for a figure close to 30 kilos, since the boy’s performance has been on the rise and Arsenal wants to get the most profit possible.
