Arsenal are making positive strides in negotiations to extend Bukayo Saka’s contract, with discussions said to be progressing smoothly between the club and the player’s representatives. The England international has continued to be one of the Gunners’ standout performers, and the club is eager to secure his long-term future at the Emirates.
Softfootball earlier reported that Arsenal successfully extended the contract of William Saliba earlier this season as part of their wider effort to retain their young core, and Saka’s new deal appears to be the next major step in that plan.
According to Fabrizio Romano via his official X handle, salary details are currently being discussed, but all parties remain confident that an agreement will be reached soon. Romano shared;
Arsenal are progressing well in talks with Bukayo Saka and his camp over new contract. Salary details being discussed but all parties involved aligned and convinced to move forward together. Talks were already underway before the summer window, proceeding well.
Saka, who has become one of Arsenal’s most influential players under Mikel Arteta, recently admitted that he’s embraced his leadership role within the team, saying he’s grown into the responsibility of leading this side.
The 24-year-old has been instrumental once again this season, both in domestic and European competitions, and a new long-term deal would further show Arsenal’s commitment to building around their academy grown star.
Securing Saka’s future would also send a strong message about Arsenal’s ambitions moving forward. The winger remains a symbol of the club’s progress under Arteta – homegrown, consistent, and driven to win. With both sides reportedly on the same page, it’s only a matter of time before fans see their star man commit his long-term future to the red half of North London.
