- Mikel Arteta is set to negotiate a new contract, potentially becoming Arsenal’s highest-paid manager in the club’s history
- Arsenal is interested in signing RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, and Bundesliga club officials are applying pressure to secure the transfer
Mikel Arteta is gearing up to negotiate a new contract and holds a strong position in the talks.
With just one year remaining on his current deal, the 42-year-old Arsenal manager is poised to secure a place in the club’s history books as their highest-paid manager.
Despite initial denials, Arsenal remains keen on acquiring RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, with officials exerting pressure on the Bundesliga club.
Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger commanded around £8 million annually, a figure similar to Arteta’s current salary. However, Arteta’s new contract is expected to elevate his earnings to approximately £12 million.
In other transfer news, speculation surrounds the potential departures of Aaron Ramsdale, Eddie Nketiah, and Reiss Nelson, should suitable offers materialize. Bayern Munich has shown interest in Oleksandr Zinchenko, while Thomas Partey has just one year left on his contract, prompting Arsenal to assess options like Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz.
