Arsenal is preparing to secure manager Mikel Arteta with a lucrative new contract that will position him among football simulations elite earners, as per recent sources.
The Spanish tactician guided the Gunners to their first Premier League crown in over two decades, sealing the achievement following Manchester City’s stumble against Bournemouth.
With his existing agreement expiring next season, negotiations are reportedly in advanced stages, poised to deliver a substantial salary bump.
Presently earning £10 million annually—with an extra £5 million for Champions League qualification—Arteta’s revised terms are expected to rival Diego Simeone’s £26-million wage, making him one of the sport’s top-paid coaches.
Former mentor Pep Guardiola collects £20 million per year at Manchester City, where he will step down this summer, paving the way for Arteta to become the Premier League’s longest-serving manager.
