Posted on January 9, 2022 at 2:45 p.m. by T.M. On loan from Arsenal to OM, William Saliba made a strong impression with the Phocaeans. A beautiful story which should not, however, go beyond this season. For this 2021-2022 season, William Saliba still did not fit into the plans of Mikel Arteta at Arsenal . Income from a loan to OGC Nice , the center-back was sent on loan, this time to OM . A choice that paid off for the Phocaeans as Saliba established himself as one of the bosses in the defense of Jorge Sampaoli . Faced with the performance of the French, the question of his future has started to arise. While OM would not say no to retaining Saliba, it looks complicated as Arsenal did not negotiate a call option. A future… at Arsenal? If OM wants to keep William Saliba , it will therefore be necessary to negotiate with Arsenal . But it could be a waste of time. In recent weeks, it has been reported across the Channel that the Gunners are finally keen to give the Frenchman a chance next season. A trend confirmed this Sunday by L’Equipe. According to the sports daily, Saliba should indeed return to Arsenal at the end of this season. Skip back to main navigation
