Arsenal are going through an impressive campaign right now and sit at the top of the Premier League table, something that not many people would have seen coming going into the season. The likes of Gabriel Jesus and William Saliba have earned a lot of plaudits for the Gunners’ great start but another player who deserves his flowers his Bukayo Saka, someone Real Madrid are rumoured to have their eyes on.
It is hard to believe that Saka turned 21 years of age just this month. He has been a regular feature in this Arsenal side for years now and is considered by many as a generational talent.
His current deal with Arsenal runs out in the summer of 2024 though and naturally, they must be keen on him agreeing an extension as soon as possible. That has not happened till now and Saka has been linked with clubs like Real Madrid and Manchester City as well.
Comments from football agent Jonathan Barnett might be interesting and worth considering in this situation. As reported by football.london, he told GOAL Espana:
"“If you want to be the best player in the world, the best thing you can do is play for Real Madrid.”"
Saka has been sent Real Madrid transfer message while his Arsenal future is up in the air
Real Madrid have an incredible track record of elevating players and helping them reach their full potentials.
Let that be someone who was already considered one of the best in the world, like Cristiano Ronaldo, or someone who was brought in solely based on his raw potential, like Vinicius Junior.
Real Madrid just have that magic touch about them. In the past decade, they have produced two Ballon d’Or winners in Ronaldo and Luka Modric, and Karim Benzema is the heavy favourite to win the award this time around.
Thus, if any young player has aspirations of being one of the best in the world one day, the best thing that they can do is join Real Madrid.
