Arsenal's Arteta Extends Contract Through 2030
Mikel Arteta has reached a verbal agreement to extend his contract with Arsenal, securing a new long‑term deal that will keep him at the club beyond the 2024‑25 season. The Spaniard’s current contract, signed in September 2024, expires at the end of this campaign, and negotiations began in May after Arsenal clinched their first league title in 28 years. The talks were paused during the summer transfer window but resumed in late July, culminating in the announcement that Arteta will stay on for a second extension.
Under the new arrangement, Arteta’s annual salary is set to rise to £10 million, a significant increase that reflects the club’s appreciation for his success in leading Arsenal to a historic championship. The three‑year extension, which will take effect after the current contract ends, is expected to provide stability for both the manager and the squad as they look to build on the momentum of their title win. The deal positions Arteta as a potential long‑term fixture in the club’s history, potentially extending his tenure well beyond a decade.
