It wasn’t essentially the case that Arsenal had been pleased to promote their greatest gamers to rival golf equipment in recent times, it’s simply that unhealthy contract administration typically left them no selection however to just accept what they may as a switch charge.
That does appear to be shifting in recent times as they’re being extra proactive with extending offers early, and it seems to be like that’s the case with Bukayo Saka as properly after the most recent report from the Daily Mail.
They verify that he nonetheless has two years left on his deal so this may not be a urgent matter this summer time, however time goes previous shortly and it may simply develop into a scenario the place he’s near the final yr of his deal they usually have to just accept a below-market bid.
It’s thought that Man Metropolis are fascinated about signing the England star, however Arsenal are prepared to supply him greater than double his present £70k per-week wage so as to tie him all the way down to a brand new long-term contract.
If that occurs then it’s nice information for the Gunners because it exhibits that issues are altering they usually don’t all the time must promote their higher gamers, however there could also be an issue in that Saka needs common UCL soccer and it stays to be seen if that’s one thing that Mikel Arteta can ship.
At this stage, it’s believed that the supply has been made to Saka though he’s but to formally reply, so an imminent settlement nonetheless feels just a little method off.
