According to Sky Sports, although the parties have been slow on the Arteta renewal issue, the reality is that Arteta is expected to sign a long-term contract with the team soon.
Arteta’s relationship with sporting director Edu and the Kroenke family is so close that the parties believe the formal process of contract renewal talks can be completely omitted. Dialogue between the parties has never ceased, and the club is confident in and willing to entrust its future to Arteta.
Arteta’s current contract with Arsenal expires in 2025, however, neither the club nor Arteta is in a hurry to push for a renewal. This is because the parties have already reached a consensus on this and there is no pressure to negotiate forcefully.
Arteta said that his renewal with Arsenal will be “natural” and that he and Edu are currently focusing on team building to ensure a strong start to the new season. Arteta has also revealed that he hopes to lead the team to their first Premier League title since 2004.
