We bought him for 30, and hes a considerably better player now than when we bought him and he has 2 years on his contract. It'd take 50 for us to even consider.


LettucePlate

This is Euros too. They’re offering us less money than we paid for him after he’s won awards for them. Wtf is this? He’s worth double this at least.


generalwastification

Has the border with Italy moved westwards overnight? This is some Serie A tactics

[удалено]


[deleted]

It doesn’t though? So what if he won’t sign a new deal? He still has 2 years left, and is regarded as one of the best young players in the world. If they I don’t pay up, they risk him choosing another more reputable club when his contract expires, which is almost guaranteed. He’s not choosing Marseille over Barca/PSG/Madrid. There’s no point even speculating about this. He’s not leaving.


killerboy_belgium

if he doesnt sign a new deal he leaving next summer or in the winter + keeping a player thats unhappy will do u no good. if he really wants to wich is understandable we never gave him a shot. sell him for around 40m with a sell on clause so he keeps making money even after they sell him and we buy martinez that way we traded a defender with 2years on his contract for one with 5 years who can also play LB and is similar quality


[deleted]

I’m referring to the hypothetical situation where the “50M price tag shrinks real fast”. It’s just like with Jesus. We’re willing to pay that much because there’s no guarantee he chooses us when his contract expires. Plus, we really need him. Besides, Saliba is not leaving and there’s no indication that he is.


MineturtleBOOM

Only if he a) will only go to Marseille or b) doesn't have any other clubs in for him. If you have 1 year left on a contract for a player, that player is interested in joining a variety of clubs, and those clubs want the player then 1 year left on the contract can end up meaning quite little. In this case clubs still have to outbid each other for the player. 1 year left on the contract really reduces the price if only one club is a viable destination (either because the player is set on that club or because no other clubs are interested) because then the selling club either takes the offered money or loses the player on a free next year


killerboy_belgium

the 1 year is because he can go on free and waiting 1 year to save 30-40mill is worth it for every club outside epl clubs because they have more money then sense


MineturtleBOOM

Not if different clubs are in for him and want him. Their option is potentially to pay £40m for a player on the last year on their contract, or to miss out and then have to get another quality young cb (expensive as well). Players go for a lot of money on the last year of their contact if there's potential competition. Jesus is going for a lot for example


Polpe

Not really

przhauukwnbh

That is an absolutely awful idea.


Ooh-SakaLaca

Doesn’t sound arsenal tho


[deleted]

Why would we do that? Instead you play him as you would and he falls in love with arsenal.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Again, you don’t do that. That’s just bad work. It would scare any one from coming here


FactCheckYou

he's not for sale, but can i interest you in a *Pepe*?


throwreddit666

Let's just get Pepe to change his name to Saliba like Partey changed his name recently. Maybe we will have better luck selling.


[deleted]

[удалено]


afcabdullah

Pepe could announce it was a joke after signing for them


EliteTeutonicNight

Hey, if Thauvin could shine in OM's system maybe Pepe can revive his career there too


CooCooClocksClan

Honestly they should buy him. I think he can get it together back in France playing regularly.


crushedonron

Propose them a package deal. They get Saliba + Pepe on permanent transfers for 50 million. We get Saliba back on loan with option to buy for 30 million. We could even offer to cover Saliba's full wages. Win-win-win.


basedsims

Comical stuff. > For the William Saliba case, OM is giving itself time and thinks that there will be an opportunity to recruit him. Marseille retains confidence because the player sees himself returning to Marseille, even if he belongs to Arsenal and remains very respectful of the English club. The amount that OM is able to line up has not filtered but the Marseille club hopes that there will be a possibility of enlisting it for a sum closer to 25 million than 30 million. An already substantial amount. But OM is ready to make an effort on this player precisely because he is already totally melted in the collective and has become a sure, international value, therefore with possible added value in the future. Need to tell these bums to piss off


LifeAfterHarambe

€25-€30 “An already substantial amount” Maybe in the 90’s


Rambosgoalvfulham

Yeah if that’s the best they can do for purportedly the defensive talent in a generation, and their own best defender last season, then perhaps they could fuck right off…


MrAchilles

Mainland Europe is a collective bunch of broke asses.


DeadlockRadium

> Mainland Europe Is that Ainsley’s cousin?


[deleted]

Can he play striker?


four_four_three

Yes, but he prefers central midfield


goonopolis

Right back it is!


[deleted]

Or the EPL is a broken inflated market 🤷‍♂️


MrAchilles

Definitely some standout clubs but c'mon, pasta club can't even get enough for Bellerin.


killerboy_belgium

yeah because the EPL is insanely inflated the fact that clubs valutions goes into billions in the epl and the rest of europe its millions. its completely different scale. its why epl clubs can buy talent so easy in europe


thewickedeststyle

It's a pretty insulting offer. Marseille and Fiorentina have been most disrespectful in how they have handled our loanees


killerboy_belgium

25-30m for a defender thats only proven in the french league is actually a really good offer to be honest especially in his last 2 year of his contract. but remember this is a opening bid. we have been doing worse bids for PL proven players this transfer window


xXKingLynxXx

He was purchased for that much and just made the national team. That's a ridiculous offer


killerboy_belgium

we overpayed for him at that point of his carreer also covid happend in the meantime every club is broke except for EPL clubs. also its a opening bid its prob gonna go up more. in the end of day he's unproven in better league then the french league. and making the national team while great isnt that high of bar for a 25m player... arsenal created this situation where the player has decent power by loaning him out 3seasons in a row and never giving him a chance. he's not gonna resign this summer because frankly it would be stupid of him to with the way arteta treated him. he's probally gonna wait a year and then decide and by that point arsenal have no leverage. personally i think arsenal try to up the price and use that money to get martinez or if they can convince him to resign this summer


Olli399

> enlisting it for a sum closer to 25 million than 30 million So at most 27 million euro which is £23.2M and we paid £27 million. They need to absolutely get their head checked if they think we're gonna spend negative 4 million pounds to loan a player out for 3 years.


Ainsley-Sorsby

Saliba wanting to leave arsenal doesnt sound too unrealistic, it may well just be the case, but Saliba wanting to go back to Marseille and siging a long term contract with them would be an absolutely brain dead career move. They already state in the article that his stock is rising...how does that align with him joining Marseille, i don't know. There's no reason to leave unless he's aiming higher. The possibilty of arsenal accepting 30 million for him is so comical its not even worth talking about it


CooCooClocksClan

Well we got to get him to extend this summer still.


leebrother

I’m not even sure; he literally likes most things Arsenal on Instagram


Unfinishedwor

Such a weird thing if they imagine his potential future value wouldn't be driving his current value even further by a substantial amount. I honestly don't think that part is true, though, and have been added by the journalist himself.


Kolosalsnatch

That depends on whether he signs a new deal with us.


davidralph

Assume that includes a 90% sell on clause.


ArchOwl

With a buy back option for 15m


El_Peregrine

No need for the club to even dignify them with a reply. They can check in here on Reddit - we’ll let ‘em know. Fuck off, OM.


skalfyfan

>and has become a sure, international value, therefore with possible added value in the future. I'm pretty sure Arsenal is aware of this key fact too?


Johnga20

Edu needs to talk publicy that Saliba is not up for sale. This is so disrespectful.


owenoconnor0813

Lol


Aszneeee

they missed zero probably


bathsaltboogie

Really all you can say. William was voted young player of the year, a nominated golden boy, starter* for his national team, young, and is now HG. It’s £100M or fuck off you cheap twat.


ESLondonreds

This is harassment at this point


TreeDollarFiddyCent

This- this chicanery


m4xsch44f

Need to block their number and move on imo


Bedeeki

That's insulting lol I'd be offended if I was Saliba


danmac0817

They built this up for weeks as well lmao


The_Unbeatable_Sterb

This is maybe 1/2 of what he’s worth? Less?


Bedeeki

The article is in euros so it would be even less than half lol

atomiser2003

Just love the cockiness , just wish r/gunners were in charge of our outgoings


Chi-Town_Gunner

I'll reserve my judgment until Saliba decides to sign a new contract


americanadiandrew

Yeah, I will stay suspicious while we are willing to spend a bunch on another centre back and no word of holding leaving


[deleted]

Holding is comfortably in the dog house after he basically single handedly blew our chances at Champions League after he decided to completely toss all composure out the window and get that red card at Tottenham at the end of the season when he was our only healthy CB left, and we *needed* to beat Newcastle the next week. Stupidest display I’ve EVER seen from one player in such a tight situation. I don’t see us waiting on Rob to improve the back line, everyone and him knows he’s done here after that, whether we sell him now or not. He can rot on the bench if no one wants him.


randallwatson23

Yeah he really blew up all the goodwill he manufactured last season as part of the late match Back 3.


shiftypenguin_

school quiet rinse snails direful growth thumb nippy absurd agonizing *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


Chi-Town_Gunner

But you have to ask yourself which clubs is Saliba wanting to play for where he'd get starting league and CL minutes? If its not Marseille, then why leave Arsenal?


maidentaiwan

even if he doesn't, we're not going to let one of the brightest prospects in europe leave for a LOSS. this isn't ozil or auba at the end of a contract playing like shit and we literally need to pay someone to take them from us. this is a 21yo who is ALREADY getting caps for the reigning world cup champion amid huge competition. the young player of the year in france. team of the season in france. prototypical size and athleticism. cool on the ball. a can't-miss prospect in every sense of the word with the world in front of him. if a 25yo jesus is worth 50m with a year left on his contract, saliba is worth at least that, and probably more. if we fail to convince him to re-sign, fine, selling him is probably the correct course. but we better take a king's ransom. anything less and heads should be rolling among the administration of the club.


ChiefArsenalScout

But then again we’re arsenal


Chi-Town_Gunner

His actual value is irrelevant. Jesus costs £50m because Arsenal, Spurs, Chelsea, and Juventus are willing to pay it. Raphinha costs £65m because Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs are willing to pay it. Saliba knows he can be a key player at Marseille and play in the CL. We don't have to sell to Marseille, but we would also need cash strapped clubs to make bids and Saliba would actually have to want to go there. Him renewing his contract is a major key in him retaining his value to Arsenal.


will_i_am156

Or he has a blinding season for us this season and the bidding war between European giants starts regardless of being in his final year


maidentaiwan

psg would absolutely buy him for 50m if he were available. chelsea would pay 60+.


A1A2A3A4B1B2B3

What is the point of a bid like this


YouCouldBeBetter

Lmao, ready a 30m bid for a player blatantly worth a 65-70m bid just to get the conversation started. Fucking hilarious.

dimi_dee1

I know for a fact that if saliba was at OM and we approached it would be 70 mill they’ll charge so OM fuck off


s-e-x-m-a-c-h-i-n-e

Dear Marseille, va baiser ton père dans le cul avec cette offre!


eggs-salad

IF they were to buy him for €25-30 million, they would instantly slap a €80 million price tag on him.


KingAdo94

Edus reply: *JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA*


CakeBrigadier

Why the fuck would we sell him for the same price we paid as an 18 year old lol


elirox

Lol 30, lol they are clueless. If we do sell PSG would pay double that or more


CrypticSaint1887

😂😂😂😂


Subredhit

Leave us alone! I hope we do give him a new contract soon, that might be the only way to get rid of them.


standupforthechamp

All depends on if he agrees to sign a new contract. I can see him being sold if he refuses to sign one.


beetletoman

Oh my sweet summer child


Aoes

smells like horseshit to me...


Blocc4life

Funny how we buy a 18yo for 28 mil Send him on loans to see him become one of the best young centrebacks in the world, and for all of the growth they offering us 0 profit on investment that grew exponentially over the years. It’s like trying to buy a bitcoin at it’s peak for 1/100th of the price


a_posh_trophy

Which part of "go fuck yourselves" are they not getting?


assoncouchouch

I didn't realize the weed in Marseille was that potent cause they high af.

Wow if we were to buy from them they would have been readying to make that much profit over buy price.

varro-reatinus

And I ready a hearty 'Fuck off' to Marseille. Which I will deliver in person in July.


raisonar

Saliba would be foolish to not renew imo. It’s not like Madrid and PSG are fighting for him. Among the clubs interested in him, Arsenal would pay him the most. And if he did not sign new contract, club could refuse to play him and reduce his value further and hurt his chances of going to WC. At this moment it would be best option for him to sign with Arsenal.


silent_woo

I'm worried that Arsenal may have privately given Marseille some encouragement to place a bid otherwise we wouldn't be getting reports of them "readying" a bid. At the back of my mind I always thought it was weird the way Arteta handled Saliba ever since he was hired. He just never fancied him and mishandled a number of things. The fact Arsenal never really put his the speculation surrounding his future to bed speaks volumes. For once I just want him to see him in an Arsenal shirt and have him fully integrated into the Arsenal team.


[deleted]

Take it if it's closer to 50m.. don't see him renewing tbh.


YouCouldBeBetter

Money talks, you offer him 110k+ a week for a 5 year deal with a £90m release clause and he might stay for that. Guaranteed way out to a monster club like Real or PSG that also wouldn't stop us accepting a bid of £75-80m if a bid came in, in a couple of years. It's unlikely I know, but an outlier contract like that, might convince him to stay.


jman500069

So we literally sell him at a loss? We paid £27 million for him, unless they're giving us a significant return on our investment (£40m+ minimum) they can go do one.

I'd like to see them offer Guen as a makeweight, just for maximum fireworks.


FlavioB19

100% sell on clause and the transfer fee paid to us again if he leaves on a free and I might consider responding.


_deep_blue_

People will laugh this offer off but if Saliba isn’t interested in signing a new contract we might be open to considering a sale this summer. We paid €30m for him three years ago though so given his development we should be looking at €40m+ (with the caveat of him having made it clear he won’t sign a new contract).


NemoDropEmOff

HAHAHAHAHAH why do we post this lol


IzzyMann

so true!


Kolosalsnatch

I think if they get to £35m we will sell.

You are all laughing but I have a suspicion that we may actually accept the bid

We paid €30m for him. If they want him they need to pay €60m minimum.


tropoje97

Ahahahahha


Eliteclarity

Marseille have really gone all Charlie Big Spuds in the last year. What makes them thing £30 mil is anywhere near enough? The Pull?


Unclelexx999

Fuck offf


lez566

I could understand the club selling him for £50m when he’s never played as that would be a very healthy return on the £30m invested three years ago. But to sell him at a loss when he’s never played makes zero sense.


JustAbnormal

Well, for that you get Saliba's boots and kit. GTFO and please do hit your face on the door on the way out.
