The club is aware that Real Madrid is interested in Saliba, and they want to secure his future before it's too late. Saliba is a crucial player for manager Mikel Arteta, and the club doesn't want to lose him.

However, a new deal for Saliba is not a priority at the moment, according to the club's sporting director Andrea Berta. The summer transfer window has ended, and the focus is on the current season.

Saliba is currently injured and will miss Arsenal's upcoming Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
