Soon Mikel Arteta will renew his contract with Arsenal. The relationship between the manager, sporting director Edu and the Kroenke ownership is so strong that formal talks are not considered necessary. Some informal ones have already taken place: the conversation has been fluid and there is a belief that the club will become increasingly stronger in the years to come under the guidance of the Spanish coach.
Arteta’s contract with Arsenal currently expires at the end of this season, but there is no rush on his part or the club’s part to conclude a new deal as there is total alignment in vision. Ergo, no pressure to force the deal, which will probably be concluded when the transfer window closes.
Arteta said that his extension will happen in a “natural” way. His and sporting director Edu’s attention, at this moment, is to complete the team to ensure a good start to the season. There is maximum serenity between the parties and no rush on the contractual process, which will certainly be completed in the coming weeks. This was reported by Sky Sports UK.
