Arsenal are in active talks with Bukayo Saka and William Saliba over fresh long-term contracts, with Andrea Berta making the two extensions a priority since stepping into his role in April. The Gunners view these renewals as essential business, alongside their summer transfer activity, as they continue to build a squad capable of winning both domestically and in Europe.
Sources close to the situation suggest the negotiations are moving in the right direction, with confidence inside the Emirates that both players will eventually put pen to paper. While final agreements have not yet been signed, there is a growing belief that Arsenal can close the chapter on two of the most important contract sagas still hanging over the club.
Why Saka and Saliba are indispensable

Saka, Arsenal’s talisman on the right wing, has grown into one of the Premier League’s most decisive forwards. At just 23, he has already established himself as England’s most consistent wide player, regularly contributing double figures in goals and assists. Losing him is not an option, he is the face of the project and a commercial powerhouse for the club.
Saliba, meanwhile, has transformed Arsenal’s backline since his breakthrough season. His composure, ball-playing ability, and physical dominance have helped the Gunners rival Manchester City for defensive solidity. Many inside the club view him as a future captain and cornerstone of the team for the next decade.

Andrea Berta has impressed in his first transfer window at Arsenal, securing major deals like Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze and Piero Hincapié. But tying down Saka and Saliba will be just as important as any signing. These two players are irreplaceable, and their long-term commitment is seen as the final piece in solidifying Arsenal’s core.
Talks are expected to intensify in the coming weeks, with Arsenal confident both players will sign extensions that keep them at the Emirates well into their prime years. For Arteta and Berta, this is non-negotiable and the mood behind the scenes suggests it’s only a matter of time before fans get the official announcements.
