"Arsenal have begun talks with midfielder Declan Rice over a new long-term contract. Rice's existing deal still has two years left to run, while there is also an option to extend that term by a further 12 months. But the Premier League leaders are looking for the England international to commit his prime years to the club. The offer will include a pay increase to solidify his position as one of Arsenal's best earners."
"Since joining Arsenal from West Ham in a deal worth 105m in 2023, the 27-year-old has established a reputation as one of the best midfielders in Europe. He has made 102 Premier League appearances for Arsenal, while he has also established himself as a key player for England, having already won 72 caps."
"Arsenal have moved to lock in the futures of their top stars, with Saka, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri signing extensions over the past 12 months. The club have also opened talks with Jurrien Timber over an improved deal."
Arsenal has initiated contract negotiations with midfielder Declan Rice, seeking to extend his commitment beyond his current deal which has two years remaining plus a one-year extension option. The new contract will include a substantial pay increase, positioning Rice among Arsenal's highest earners alongside Bukayo Saka, who recently signed a four-and-a-half-year deal worth minimum 300,000 per week compared to Rice's current 240,000 weekly salary. Since his 105 million pound transfer from West Ham in 2023, the 27-year-old England international has become one of Europe's premier midfielders, making 102 Premier League appearances and earning 72 caps. Arsenal continues securing their top talent, with multiple players recently signing extensions as the club leads the Premier League title race.
