Real Madrid are gearing up to break the bank and fork out €150 million to sign Arsenal attacking mainstay Bukayo Saka.

Real Madrid are constantly on the lookout for players who could further bolster their ranks. According to a report from Fichajes, the team in white have their eyes set on Bukayo Saka, who is widely regarded as one of the best right-wingers in the world.

Xabi Alonso seeks more quality on the right flank and considers Saka a great option for their team. He is considered an ideal fit for their project, and they are willing to go all out for him, especially if one of their current forwards ends up leaving.

Saka has been a part of the Arsenal setup since his childhood days. He came up the ranks at some pace and has been a part of their first team since the summer of 2019. He has only gone from strength to strength over the years and has established himself as one of their mainstays.

The 24-year-old is a very important member of Mikel Arteta’s team, and with just 18 months left on his deal, his future is up in the air. The Gunners are working hard to secure his long-term future, but since he has yet to put pen to paper, there are top clubs preparing a big-money move for Saka.

Real Madrid want to sign Saka

Real Madrid are considering signing the Arsenal star, but it won’t be an independent deal. A potential transfer will depend on the departure of either Vinicius Junior or Rodrygo. If they end up parting ways with any of the Brazilian wingers, they will go all out to bring Saka to the Bernabeu.

While they already had their eyes on the English international, the interest in him took off after his impressive performances against the Spanish giants in the Champions League quarter-finals. Alonso considers Saka an ideal right-winger who possesses all the qualities needed to succeed in his system.

Even the club’s board are convinced about him being the right guy for the job. While they were initially looking to put forward a package worth €120 million, Madrid now seem willing to invest €150 million to sign the 24-year-old.

However, they will find it very difficult to strike a deal with Arsenal, who consider him the most important part of their project. They have been working on a potential new deal for weeks, and if reports are to be believed, the Gunners have already reached full verbal agreement with his camp.
