Real Madrid would love to sign William Saliba from Arsenal. It's clear to see why, as the potential Real Madrid lineup with William Saliba is an absolute dream.

Real Madrid are consistently linked to the best players in the world. There is a growing sense that when they want a player, they often get the player with minimal fuss.

However, in recent transfer windows, this has not always been the case. The most obvious counter-example is Leny Yoro, who ultimately joined Man United despite the Real Madrid transfer links.

History could repeat itself here. After all, Arsenal are putting measures in place to keep ahold of William Saliba. Nevertheless, Real Madrid should still try.

Here's the potential Real Madrid lineup with William Saliba...


The Real Madrid lineup with William Saliba would be dream worthy

GK - Thibaut Courtois. Whether Saliba is signed in January or in the summer, Thibaut Courtois will still be the number one option for Real Madrid. There are no plans to replace the best goalkeeper in the world.

RB - Trent Alexander-Arnold. I will be doubly ambitious here. Real Madrid need to sign a right-back and the most likely option is Trent Alexander-Arnold. He would be cheap, so hypothetically Real Madrid could afford both Premier League defenders.

CB - William Saliba. William Saliba is one of the best defenders in the world. He is still young too, so he could be Real Madrid's best defender for many years down the line.

CB - Antonio Rudiger. Antonio Rudiger recently named William Saliba as his dream centre-back partner. Needless to say, Real Madrid fans hope that Rudi gets his wish.

LB - Ferland Mendy. The left-back position is one which Real Madrid could easily strengthen. However, given Ferland Mendy's contract extension, it is safe to assume Carlo Ancelotti considers him valuable.

CM - Eduardo Camavinga. Eduardo Camavinga is one of Real Madrid's unsung heroes. He is key to Carlo Ancelotti's plan, so he will remain in his position. It is also a benefit that he's a teammate of William Saliba for the national team, so they understand each other well.

CM - Federico Valverde. A Real Madrid legend, by every stretch of the imagination. He is happy to do a stint anywhere, so he will continue to be a star player for Real Madrid.

RAM - Rodrygo Goes. Rodrygo is one Real Madrid player whose future is up in the air. However, we will assume that he remains in the Spanish capital. After all, he's been one of our best players so far this season.

LAM - Jude Bellingham. The star-boy. He spent many years in England, so he could help William Saliba merge from English to Spanish culture.

ST - Kylian Mbappe. Another teammate of William Saliba for the French national team, Kylian Mbappe will do his job on the other end of the pitch.

ST - Vinicius Junior. Real Madrid's best player and the likely Ballon d'Or winner, Vinicius Junior is due to become a Real Madird legend, if he isn't one already.
