William Saliba has been in the news in Spain lately, especially after comments from Real Madrid defender Antonio Rüdiger that garnered significant attention.
After identifying Saliba and his defensive teammate Gabriel as two of the top three center-backs globally, Rüdiger remarked in an interview with *The Inside Scoop*:
“I’m very happy with my center-back partner, Militão. He’s coming back from a serious injury and getting back to his best. But with so many games, we rotate, so having Saliba… it would be great.”
Furthermore, another prominent La Liga defender expressed admiration for Saliba on Tuesday. When asked by the media about his favorite center-back currently, Barcelona’s Eric García immediately replied:
“Saliba.”
