Posted on November 15, 2021 at 12:30 p.m. by GdSS Having had a very good season since arriving on loan at OM, William Saliba has established himself as a strong member of Jorge Sampaoli's eleven. And Pablo Longoria would even consider launching the big maneuvers to recruit him definitively next summer … During the last transfer window summer, OM was particularly active in the direction of arrivals with no less than twelve new recruits made official. And among the great successes of this recruitment, William Saliba (20 years old) is the subject of a special mention. The French central defender, on loan without a buyout option by Arsenal , continues tenures under the orders of Jorge Sampaoli as well as high-ranking performances, and Pablo Longoria also intends to work for the future of Saliba … As Journalist Ekrem Konur revealed this Monday via his Twitter account, the president of OM should soon start negotiations with Arsenal to try to recruit definitively William Saliba at the end of the season. Under contract until June 2024 with the Gunners, the former ASSE has never had a chance since arriving in 2019 for € 30m and has not played an official match with the London club. Recently questioned at a press conference about a possible return of Saliba to Arsenal next summer, Mikel Arteta He was also very enigmatic on the subject: “As a club, we are always in contact. We went to see him and we are keeping an eye on his progress. Is there a place for Saliba? I think there is a place. It will depend on what happens with other players and it is not a conversation to have now ”, confided the coach of Arsenal. L ' OM could therefore have an opening in this file. Moreover, the day of the press conference to introduce William Saliba last August, Pablo Longoria had already indicated that he would retain the former ASSE player at the end of his loan even if he does not have an option to buy from Arsenal : “Regarding William, we have to speak with Arsenal later in the season. Even if we talk about a loan with or without an option, we always end up negotiating. We are aware of its potential, “said the president of the OM at the time. And it seems already decided to speed up the negotiations.
