Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka’s contract is due to expire in 2023, but The Gunners do have the option to extend it by another year.
However, with Saka being one of Arsenal’s brightest talents, they understandably want to tie him down to a longer contract. The 20-year-old seems happy at the club, but he is reportedly reluctant to sign a new deal.
According to the Daily Mail, Saka wants a release clause inserted into his new contract, to offer him a way out of the club in the future. Although settled and enjoying his time under Mikel Arteta, he is desperate to play in the Champions League, so if Arsenal do fail to qualify in the future, he could seek a move.
