Arsenal have reportedly made a decision regarding William Saliba's future amid continued speculation about the defender's future.
Saliba has been one of the stars of the Gunners' season this term, playing a key role in helping the club reach the Champions League semi-final before the defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
The France international is currently under contract at the Emirates Stadium until 2027, but has been tentatively linked with a move to Real Madrid over the last few months.
[The Athletic](https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6258890/2025/05/09/arsenal-william-saliba-contract-talks/) have reported that Arsenal have now opened talks to hand Saliba a new contract in a bid to fend off interest from rival clubs, which may include Madrid.
The report claims that Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta has approached Saliba's representatives about handing the centre-back a contract extension.
