Arsenal must recognise that they may have to pay William Saliba much more than they originally intended. Having signed as an 18-year-old in 2019, the Frenchman was placed on a relatively low wage in the grand scheme of the Gunners’ senior squad.
However, there have been suggestions that contract talks between the player’s representatives and Arsenal have raised concerns over the expectation of what the club should be paying him. According to Spotrac, Saliba is currently on a deal worth around £40,000 per week.
Arsenal’s current offer would supposedly treble this. Yet, there’s a good argument that Saliba should indeed be earning substantially more.
