Arsenal are reportedly all set to make star forward Bukayo Saka the highest-paid player at the club with a lucrative new deal.
According to a report from Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Bukayo Saka is all set to put pen to paper on a new lucrative deal. The new contract will not only make him the highest-paid player at the club, but it will also secure his long-term future at the club.
Saka has come up the ranks at Arsenal, and he has been a part of their first team since the summer of 2019. The Englishman has only gone from strength to strength over the years, and he has established himself as one of their mainstays.
The 24-year-old is widely regarded as one of the best attackers in the world. The English international’s consistent performances for club and country have put him on the radar of some of the biggest clubs.
Andrea Berta at work
While Bukayo Saka still has two years left on his current deal, Arsenal are keen on securing his long-term future. Andrea Berta, who took charge prior to the summer, has done wonders already. He played a massive part in their impressive signings in the recently concluded transfer window and has also done a lot in terms of securing the future of their key stars.
Berta has received a lot of praise as he has managed to tie down William Saliba to a new deal. He has managed to convince the French centre-back to commit his future, amidst interest from giants Real Madrid. The 24-year-old is now set to be one of the highest-paid defenders in the country.
Bukayo Saka to pen a historic deal
Having struck a deal with Saliba, the Gunners now want to secure Saka’s future. Berta has held positive talks with the English international and his camp. He has assured the homegrown attacer that their project is heading in the right direction.
Saka has been impressed by the talks and is now set to put pen to paper on a lucrative new deal. The Gunners are prepared to make him their highest-paid player, surpassing Kai Havertz. With bonuses included, the 24-year-old is expected to earn close to £300,000 per week. It will be a historic contract for the club, as no Arsenal player has ever commanded such wages before.
