Will-ing and able
William Saliba is ‘open’ to staying at Marseille if they qualify for the Champions League.
Saliba joined the Gunners from Saint-Etienne for around £27million back in 2019.
After spending a season back on loan at the Geoffroy-Guichard in the 2019-2020 campaign, many were expecting the defender to play a part for the north Londoners the following campaign.
But by the time the January transfer window rolled around he had still failed to make his debut.
A loan move to Nice followed and the centre-back was on the move back to his homeland again last summer to join the OM.
The 20-year-old has been thriving in Ligue 1 under manager Jorge Sampaoli and has made 26 appearances so far this term.
According to La Provence, the Frenchman is feeling ‘very good’ at the Velodrome and he is willing to make it a permanent switch.
However, ‘his condition is that the club qualifies for the Champions League’ next season.
Marseille are currently on course to achieve that goal as they sit third in the top-flight, two points behind second-placed Nice and 13 behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain
