Arsenal’s star defender William Saliba is close to signing a new contract that could keep him at the club until 2029 or 2030, sources confirm.
The 24-year-old French centre-back, whose current deal runs until 2027, has been a cornerstone of Arsenal’s defence, and this extension signals the club’s intent to build their future around him.
Despite interest from European giants like Real Madrid, Saliba has expressed his commitment to Arsenal, where he has become a fan favourite for his composed defending and leadership.
The new deal is expected to strengthen Arsenal’s backline stability as they aim to compete for major trophies in the coming seasons.
Negotiations are in the final stages, with an announcement likely in the coming weeks. This move follows Arsenal’s strategy of securing long-term contracts for key players, ensuring continuity under manager Mikel Arteta.
Saliba’s performances have earned him praise as one of the Premier League’s top defenders, and his partnership with Gabriel Magalhães has been pivotal to Arsenal’s recent success.
Fans and analysts alike see this extension as a major coup for the Gunners.
