•Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta
Arsenal are preparing to offer manager Mikel Arteta a new contract this summer as the club looks to secure his long-term future at the Emirates Stadium.
The decision, according to Fabrizio Romano’s post on X today, was already made back in March and is not dependent on how the current season ends.
The post read, “Arsenal are planning to offer Mikel Arteta a new contract in the summer. Plan already decided in March regardless of end of the season results. Arteta wants to focus on titles now but is in love with the Arsenal project and looking forward to talks. Deal on soon
The hierarchy at Arsenal are said to remain fully convinced by Arteta’s leadership and the direction of the project he has built since taking charge in 2019.”
Talks over a new deal are expected to begin in the coming months, with both sides open to continuing the partnership.
While formal negotiations have not yet started, there is a shared understanding that stability remains a key priority for the club.
Arteta himself is reportedly focused on finishing the season strongly and competing for major honours, but remains committed to Arsenal’s long-term vision and is said to be “in love with the project” he is overseeing.
Although the exact terms of the proposed extension are yet to be revealed, the expected offer would further underline Arsenal’s confidence in their manager at a time when the team continues to push for silverware under his guidance.
