Saliba signed and loaned back with Toby seeing out his last year does make a lot of sense. I don’t see Roma having the clout to get him. Nothing wrong with having a world class centre half for another year whilst his replacement is wrapped up playing week in-week out ready to come in the following season.
And on top of that, Vertonghen will be 33 and out of contract next summer, so independent of what happens with Toby, we're going to need more defensive reinforcements sooner rather than later.
