Is Saliba Leaving Arsenal To PSG?, Xhaka Contract In Detail

There is currently uncertainty surrounding William Saliba’s future at the Emirates as his contract is due to expire at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

Infoexpert24 reports that Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly monitoring William Saliba, with the French defender impressing for Arsenal in the early stages of the 2022-23 campaign.

The 21-year-old joined the Gunners from Saint-Etienne in 2019, but he had loan spells at Les Verts, Nice, and Marseille before officially arriving at the Emirates Stadium.

Saliba has been a key player for Mikel Arteta‘s side this season, making 10 appearances in all competitions, scoring twice, and providing an assist in nine Premier League outings.

That’s according to journalist Ben Jacobs, who says the Frenchman’s contract situation is slightly more complicated than that of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli owing to PSG’s high interest in acquiring his services.

Saliba, 21, has established himself as a mainstay for Mikel Arteta since returning from his successful loan spell at Marseille.

Granit Xhaka’s contract situation

Granit Xhaka’s transformation has been absolutely extraordinary this season, as he looks a completely different player to the one who has been written off on so many occasions in the past.

The Switzerland captain, 30, has been one of the best midfielders in the Premier League in his reinvented attacking midfield role and his stellar form has helped Arsenal to the top of the table.

The Gunners midfielder could now be in line for a new deal in North London, with Football Insider reporting that Arsenal are planning to open talks with the midfielder over fresh terms after the 2022 World Cup.

Xhaka’s current deal at the Emirates expires in just over 18 months, although Arsenal are understood to have the option to extend it for another year until the summer of 2025.
