Arsenal is reportedly close to signing Bukayo Saka to a new contract, which would make him the highest earner at the club.
Arsenal is optimistic about signing Bukayo Saka to a new deal, with talks between the club and the player’s representatives ongoing for several months. Saka’s current contract is set to expire in the summer of 2027, but Arsenal is confident that he will commit to a new long-term deal.
According to reports, Saka is expected to become the highest earner at Arsenal, surpassing current top earners like Kai Havertz (£280,000 per week) and Gabriel Jesus (£265,000 per week).
Saka’s impressive performances on the pitch have undoubtedly contributed to his value to the club. He has been instrumental in Arsenal’s success, showcasing his skills as one of the best wingers in the world. His current weekly salary of £195,000 would likely increase to over £300,000 per week under the new deal.
The news of Saka’s potential new deal comes as Arsenal continues to secure the futures of its key players. Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Magalhaes, Ethan Nwaneri, and Myles Lewis-Skelly have all signed new contracts in recent months, demonstrating Arsenal’s commitment to retaining its top talent.
In addition to Saka’s negotiations, Arsenal is also in talks with William Saliba over a contract extension.
Saliba’s deal is set to expire in 2027, and Real Madrid has reportedly expressed interest in signing him as a free agent. However, Arsenal is confident about retaining Saliba’s services, with the France international centre-back expected to see a significant wage bump from his current £190,000 per week.
