Declan Rice: Arsenal Contract Extension
Arsenal are preparing to open conversations with Declan Rice about a new long-term contract before the start of next season. Sporting director Andrea Berta contacted Rice’s camp last year to confirm the club’s intention to open talks in 2026, a move that was received positively by the player’s representatives. According to sources who told TEAMtalk, Berta is ready to offer a five-year deal when discussions begin. There is growing confidence that Rice is eager to sign new terms and commit the rest of his career to the club. There have been calls for Rice to be offered equal terms to Bukayo Saka, who recently signed a contract with wages exceeding £300,000 per week. Negotiations are to open formally in the near future.

Transfer insider Graeme Bailey has added in Arsenal Insider that Andrea Berta could then turn his attention to new deals for star midfielders Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.
