The 21-year-old Saka is aware that Arsenal provides him with the finest environment for him to continue developing and honing his skills. By accepting a new contract, he has demonstrated his commitment to the group and his ambition to grow even more as one of Arsenal’s key players.
Despite the team’s failure to win the Premier League this season, London-born Saka, who made his Arsenal debut in 2018, insisted that the team was still moving in the right route.
Despite dominating the standings for the duration of the season, Arsenal eventually fell behind as Manchester City won their third consecutive title. They will participate in the Champions League for the first time since the 2016–17 campaign, and they will undoubtedly finish in second place.
Bukayo Saka’s new Arsenal contract details
The fact that the agreement has been reached is fantastic news for Arsenal supporters and manager Mikel Arteta, who is attempting to put together a squad that will be competitive for major trophies very shortly. An official announcement regarding Saka’s commencement to the London-based club was issued on Tuesday afternoon.
Football.london previously reported that a long-term contract that will keep the 21-year-old at the club indefinitely has been agreed upon in principle since February, signalling that the negotiations for the player’s future had long since reached a vital turning point for the Gunners.
And now it’s been revealed that Saka signed a new four-year contract with Arsenal as payment for his efforts on and off the pitch. Saka will become the highest-paid player in the team according to the contract, which is estimated to be worth at least £200,000 per week but might reach £300,000 due to bonuses. He has a net worth of $4 million as of 2023.
As reported by the Daily Mail in March, Saka was set to earn a minimum of £10million per year (just over £192,000-a-week) however, transfer expert David Ornstein claims that he will receive nearly £15m per year thanks to bonuses and other add-ons with the total four year deal valued at 60 million pounds.
If that proposed deal is signed, Saka would earn just over £288,000-a-week, making him the highest-earner at the club, and one one of the best paid players in Arsenal’s history, second only to Mesut Ozil’s record £350,000-a-week salary and the pay rise would see him become the eighth highest earner in the Premier League, alongside fellow England teammate Jack Grealish and Manchester United midfielder Casemiro.
