Arsenal fans will be happy to learn that transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has provided a significant update on Bukayo Saka’s contract.
With 13 goals and 11 assists in the Premier League this season, Saka has been a crucial component of Arsenal’s title challenge.
Since his present contract is set to expire the next year, Mikel Arteta is eager to lock him down to a new one at the Emirates.
An ‘deal has all-but been reached’ over new terms, according to The Independent, following negotiations that have reportedly been going on since last summer.
Even promotional video was reportedly shot, and a contract was supposed to be announced before the season’s finish.
A contract worth £300,000 a week is being rumored for the 21-year-old, and a new agreement is anticipated to keep him in north London for a further five years.
Since then, Romano has confirmed rumors and clarified the specifics of his deal.
Update on Saka’s contract from Romano
Romano’s declaration that Saka’s contract is “100% done” is a significant victory for Gunners supporters.
Saka is all finished, the Italian said to Give Me Sport. Bukayo Saka will be an Arsenal player through June 2028 as the agreement with Saka has been finalized and the announcement is just about to be made.
“The contract has been signed, so everything is in order there. The only thing left to do is wait for the statement.
Luke Shaw, an English international teammate, called the winger “world class” after the Red Devils’ 3-2 loss to Arsenal in January.
“I know him, and I know how good he is,” Shaw said to Viaplay. He’s a phenomenal player who is still very young.
He still has a long way to go. But in my opinion, he is world-class right now, and if he can keep up his performance week in and week out, he will succeed.
The next name on the list will be French defender William Saliba, who is only 21 and has not yet decided whether or not to stay with Arsenal or sign a new contract.
