Real Madrid are keeping tabs on Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka, according to 90min.com journalist Graeme Bailey.

Manchester City have been linked with a bid for the 20-year-old in recent days but Bailey says that the Premier League champions could have to head off a challenge from Spain:

“From what I know Arsenal have already told him they’re taking up the option if they have to. They’d probably rather not take up the option and just do a new deal. Saka is a player who needs to be playing at the top level. It’s a matter of when do you cash in? We know Manchester City love him. I’m told Real Madrid have taken a very keen interest in his progress as well.”

Liverpool have also been mentioned as a potential destination for Saka but, at this stage, it doesn’t seem likely that the England international will be leaving the Emirates this summer.

As Bailey mentions, the player is currently in talks over a contract extension, and it is very possible that his agent has been feeding information to the media about interest from other teams in order to put pressure on Arsenal.

Saka is only earning £30,000 a week at the moment so there is no doubt that he deserves a substantial wage rise, but a lot will depend on how much he is asking for. The Gunners are in a decent position to negotiate, with the winger still having two years remaining on his contract, but they will want to tie down one of their key players for the long term.
