Arsenal has successfully completed its first significant move of the summer by securing William Saliba’s signature on a new four-year contract.
The French defender has been engaged in negotiations with Arsenal over a new deal following an impressive season with the club.
Initially, it appeared that Saliba would leave Arsenal after rejecting an initial contract offer, which reportedly surprised the Gunners with his demands.
Given Saliba’s strong performances for Arsenal throughout the past season, fans were concerned when the two parties struggled to reach an agreement.
Paris Saint-Germain had expressed interest in the former loanee from Nice and had hoped that talks between Saliba and Arsenal would not be successful.
However, according to The Athletic, a breakthrough has been reached in the negotiations, and Saliba has agreed to extend his contract for an additional four seasons. An official announcement is expected to be made in the near future.
Just Arsenal Opinion
This is one of the best pieces of news we could have gotten today because Saliba is a player we all want the club to keep.
The defender will be an important player for us next season, as was the case in the last campaign.

Waiting to hear it made official, but absolutely massive news if true.
If it’s on the Athletic I oretty much take it as gospel.
I agree especially when it’s from Or stein!!
This news, if true, is brilliant.
I have no idea what his salary demands were, but the fact that so many “big” clubs were waiting on the sidelines, shows just what a player he could turn out to be.
I do believe that MA and Edu have now secured all our top players (apart from Tierney) for the future.
I think we will see concrete movement with regards to Rice shortly, certainly before our pre season games begin.
Odegaards’s up next Ken
Jax, I believe he’s signed up till 2025, but an extension on that won’t go amiss.
@ Ken1945,until 2027.he had one year left so he effectively signed a 3 years extension.the difference being that his last year of the old contract,is on the same terms as the 3 years extension .
Agreed to sign but not signed yet according to my info 😎
I’ll believe it when on .com, and seeing this was supposed to be done over 8 hours ago I’m being skeptical (as I always am).
Any chance of any Rice articles joining us…?
Can I just add, $hitty look 🐤ing awful tonight
Inter are no joke tbh. City 1-0 up now. Lukaku just had a bendtner moment
The Mail article quotes The Athletic and states he’s going to be on £120K per week, which is far less than many here (including me) expected.
So, terrific deal if true, and well done Edu & Garlick.
No 120K/week is wrong, it’s 200K plus adds on/bonuses.
