Zapping Goal! Football club OM: players at the end of their contract in 2021
L’Equipe announced it in its edition of the day and the information leaked out last night: Olympique de Marseille would like to be loaned William Saliba by Arsenal. The 20-year-old center-back was recruited by the Gunners two summers ago but they left him at his training club AS Saint-Etienne for 2019/20, and they sent him to Nice earn playing time in 2020/21.

From the start, the Spaniard has wanted to give Saliba time to grow up before making him a holder at Arsenal. In February he was saying, “He will come back for the preseason and be with us. We see long term with him. He needs to play, which is why we loaned him. But next summer, he will do the preparation with us “. If the plans have not changed, Saliba will therefore spend at least July with Arsenal. If Arteta thinks he’s ready, he’ll keep him; otherwise, a loan or transfer will be possible. But not sure that Pablo Longoria waits until the last minute to find a successor to Caleta-Car…
