“We’re open to letting William Saliba move to Real Madrid, but only if they send that player our way in exchange,” says Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke as he reveals the Real Madrid star he wants in return for Saliba.

BREAKING NEWS: Arsenal Owner Stan Kroenke Names Real Madrid Star He Wants in Return for William Saliba — Fans React

In a shocking turn of events, Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke has reportedly declared that the club is open to letting star defender William Saliba join Real Madrid — but under one bold condition.

According to reports making rounds in the football world, Kroenke has named a Real Madrid player he wants in return for the highly-rated French centre-back.

The news, which has quickly gone viral among fans of both clubs, suggests that Arsenal are not completely against the idea of parting ways with Saliba, who has become a pillar in Mikel Arteta’s defence over the last two seasons.

However, Kroenke has made it clear that any potential deal must involve a player swap, with one of Real Madrid’s top talents heading to North London.

Although the identity of the Real Madrid player in question is yet to be officially confirmed, speculation among fans and pundits points towards names like Aurélien Tchouaméni, Rodrygo, or even Eduardo Camavinga — players Arsenal have reportedly admired in recent times. Some sources claim it could also be a defensive reinforcement or a young attacker who fits Arteta’s dynamic, high-energy system.

Fans Split on the Idea

As expected, the news has divided the Arsenal fanbase. While some supporters believe the club should stand firm and reject any offers for Saliba, others argue that if the right player is involved in the swap, it could be a smart business move. Saliba, who has established himself as one of the Premier League’s best centre-backs, is seen by many as untouchable — but every player has a price, especially when Europe’s elite come calling.

On the other side, Real Madrid fans are eager about the prospect of landing Saliba, seeing him as a potential long-term partner for Éder Militão or Antonio Rüdiger in the heart of their defence.

Is This a Good Deal?

The big question now is: Is this a good deal for Arsenal? Swapping one of their most reliable defenders for a Madrid star could work, provided the incoming player adds immediate and long-term value. But losing Saliba would undoubtedly leave a big void in Arsenal’s backline.

What do you think — would you take this deal?
