According to journalist Haydn Dodge (via CaughtOffside), Arsenal is looking to offer a bumper contract to Bukayo Saka. The England international is currently one of the hottest prospects across Europe and the Gunners want to extend his stay at the Emirates beyond his current contract.
Although Dodge suggests that the two parties have reached a stalemate in their contract extension talks with the North London outfit looking to add a £120m release clause in his contract.
Mikel Arteta and company would look to secure Saka’s services for a long time, and the massive release clause could be useful in fending off potential suitors.
The word in the industry is that Arsenal want to insert a £120m clause, which is understandable, especially considering he has just 12 months left on his deal, and is arguably the hottest prospect, not only in England but also in European football.” suggests Hodge.
