Arsenal are reportedly engaged in advanced discussions to extend the contract of winger Bukayo Saka, whose current deal runs until 2027, and he could become one of the highest earners in the Premier League, according to icfootballnews sources.
The 22-year-old England international has become one of the cornerstones of Mikel Arteta’s squad, and the Gunners are keen to secure his long-term future amid growing interest from top European clubs.
Saka, who joined Arsenal’s academy at a young age, has developed into a world-class attacking talent, contributing goals, assists, and consistency in the Premier League and European competitions. His ability to play across both flanks and in central attacking positions has made him indispensable for the Gunners, and the club view a new contract as vital for maintaining squad stability.
According to icfootballews sources, ARSENAL have opened dialogue with Saka’s representatives to discuss a long-term extension that could see the winger remain at the Emirates for at least another five years beyond his current deal. Negotiations are reportedly advanced, with discussions focusing not only on salary but also bonuses, image rights, and performance-related incentives.
Speculation surrounding the financial terms suggests that Saka could earn in the region of £300,000 to £350,000 per week in his new contract, potentially making him one of the highest-paid players in Arsenal’s history.
Such a package would reflect both his importance to the team and his status as one of the Premier League’s most marketable young talents. It would also align with Arsenal’s strategy of rewarding and retaining academy graduates who have become pivotal in the first team.
Club sources indicate that ARSENAL are prepared to offer Saka assurances about his role in the squad and his involvement in key competitions, particularly as the club seeks to challenge for Premier League and European honours.
By tying him down early, Arsenal hope to avoid any risk of losing one of their brightest talents to rival clubs, particularly in an increasingly competitive transfer market.
Saka’s representatives are reportedly taking a measured approach, seeking not only financial security but also assurances regarding squad development and the club’s long-term ambition.
The player has previously expressed loyalty to Arsenal, emphasizing his desire to win trophies with the club where he grew up, but financial and sporting clarity are likely to influence the final terms.
*ARSENAL*’s commitment to retaining Saka is viewed as a broader statement of intent. By securing their academy star, the club aim to reinforce a strategy of building a team around young, homegrown talent while remaining competitive in domestic and continental competitions.
While no official announcement has been made, sources suggest that both parties are optimistic about reaching an agreement before the start of the next season.
