Mikel Arteta to sign new Arsenal contract with salary increase
Premier League winners Arsenal are preparing a major new contract for manager Mikel Arteta. The club's board intends to reward the Spanish tactician for his title-winning efforts. Currently earning around £10 million per year, Arteta's new deal is expected to place him among the world's highest-paid managers. This is reported by Goal.com .
According to reports, Arteta's new salary at Emirates Stadium could reach the level of Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone, approximately €30 million per year. Negotiations were paused during the title race, but official talks are expected to resume following Arsenal's Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain.
Meanwhile, the London club has ambitious plans for the summer transfer window. Mikel Arteta considers strengthening the attack a priority. The team's main targets include Bournemouth forward Eli Junior Kroupi and former Manchester City star Julian Alvarez, currently playing for Atletico Madrid. Kroupi has gained attention for setting a goal-scoring record for teenagers in his debut season.
Arsenal is also monitoring players such as Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Bradley Barcola, and Nico Williams. Significant squad changes may be implemented to fund new transfers. Specifically, the futures of players like Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus remain in doubt. The club's management is prepared to part ways with several leaders to make the squad more competitive.
