Arsenal open to parting ways with William Saliba?

Arsenal are open to sanctioning the sale of William Saliba this summer if he has no plans of penning a contract extension.

The French centre-back is currently on a season-long loan at Marseille where he has put in several stand-out performances.

His showing recently earned him his international debut. Saliba has acknowledged that he is very happy at the club.

According to Foot Mercato, Saliba will return to the Gunners this summer, considering Marseille don't have a buy clause.

However, he could head for a permanent exit thereafter, suppose he has no desire of signing a new contract with the club.

Saliba will enter the final two years of his deal this summer. Marseille could be among the leading candidates to sign him.

The Gunners secured his services from Saint Etienne for £27m, and they may demand a similar figure over the summer.

Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus have also been credited with an interest in Saliba, who has yet to make his Gunners debut.
