According to a report from Caught Offside, Bukayo Saka is all set to sign a new deal at Arsenal, making him their highest-paid player. The Gunners have reached a full agreement with their attacking mainstay, and an official announcement is expected around January.
Saka has been a part of the Arsenal setup since his childhood days. He went up the ranks at some pace and got promoted to the first team back in 2019. He has only gone from strength to strength over the years.
Not only has he established himself as one of their mainstays, but he is also widely regarded as one of the best right-wingers in the world. He has yet again made an impressive start to the new season with six goals in his 14 outings.
The 24-year-old’s impressive rise, his consistent performances and massive potential are reasons why top clubs are always keeping an eye on his situation. He last penned a contract extension at the North London club back in 2023.
While that deal runs until the summer of 2027, Arsenal do not want to risk a situation where he enters the final year of his contract. As a result, they have been working on a new deal for months, and they seem to have finally tasted success.
The English international has been involved in positive negotiations with Andrea Berta for months. The new Arsenal chief has managed to convince him to commit his future to the club and follow the likes of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes.
The Gunners now have a full verbal agreement with the player and his camp over a new deal that will make him the highest-paid player at the club. A few details still need to be signed off on before the North London club make the most-awaited official announcement.
Not only have they managed to secure his long-term future, Mikel Arteta’s team have also rewarded him for his performances in the past few seasons.
While speaking about the new deal, Mark Brus said: “Saka has reached a full agreement with the club on a new contract that will run until June 2030.
“Final touches on image rights, bonus structures, and media rollout are still being finalized. There are no issues – just a calculated delay aligned with Arsenal’s broader communication plan.”
While Arsenal are in no rush to make an announcement, they have certainly covered the hard yards, having agreed terms with the 24-year-old. While image rights, bonus structures and media rollout are still being finalised, they shouldn’t be that big a problem given the strong relationship between the two camps.
