PSG set to offer €100m to compete with Real Madrid, Bayern for Arsenal Ace
PSG are reportedly preparing a €100 million offer to secure the services of a superstar from Arsenal, who is also linked with Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
William Saliba has established himself as one of the top defenders in the world while playing for Arsenal. His signing for €30 million in 2019 was a forward-thinking investment by the London club, and the results have quickly validated that decision.
Today, Saliba is a cornerstone of Mikel Arteta's tactical setup, showcasing exceptional defensive reliability, leadership, and the ability to play out from the back. His performances have not gone unnoticed in Europe, with Paris Saint-Germain preparing an ambitious €100 million offer to secure his services, according to Fichajes.

Since joining Arsenal, Saliba has gradually increased his prominence within the team. After a series of loan spells in Ligue 1, the defender returned to London eager to prove his worth.
He has now become a key figure in the Gunners' backline, as they aim to compete for honours both in the Premier League and Europe.
His development has made him a coveted player among European giants, and the prospect of seeing him at a club like PSG, which is always on the lookout to bolster its defence, is becoming increasingly plausible.
Furthermore, his experience in the Premier League, one of the most competitive leagues in the world, positions him as an ideal candidate to tackle the significant challenges that lie ahead for the Paris outfit, particularly in the Champions League.
However, Arsenal has no intention of parting ways with one of their key players. Saliba is an integral part of Arteta's long-term project, and while the €100 million that PSG is willing to put on the table could make the Gunners reconsider their stance, they remain committed to keeping hold of their defensive stalwart.
It seems overly complicated for PSG, with their new recruitment policy, to shell out €100 million on a centre-back, especially considering they have just signed William Pacho and the Ecuadorian is responding brilliantly.
Saliba has also been strongly linked to other European giants such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. We will see what happens.
