Ian Wright believes that Arsenal could lose three important stars, including Bukayo Saka.
The Gunners have been converted into bona fide title finances under Mikel Arteta, with graduated Academy Saka, a crucial member on the side. But he has just over two years on his contract in North Londs.
Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba also have deals until 2027 and have forged a striking defensive partnership with the Emirates. But Wright fears that Arsenal could lose all three if she would not bind them to new deals instead of later, in a situation that can bind with Liverpool.
“When you talk about extensions with certain players, Saka, Gabriel [Magalhaes]Saliba, the way they move now, I bet those innovations will all be slow, “Wright said. 'We may have a situation such as Liverpool with Trent [Alexander-Arnold]” [Mohamed] Salah and Virgil [Van Dijk].
“If I am one of these players and their teams will say: 'Let's wait, we will have two more years left, so let's wait and see who they get in the summer. I know the manager has signed again, but let's wait . '
“If they don't get the kind of players to take us to the next step, look at Saliba. Real Madrid would take him with him tomorrow. Why wait and see what happens in the summer to see the kind of players and caliber of players we sign. This is where people are needed to be careful.
'I am sure that Mikel will have told them that because he probably has the same kind of ambition: if you are not going to give me the kind of players I need, I can't keep the players here I am our best players, who now their contracts.
“We have not even come to that conversation about these players yet. This summer and who comes, F *** ING Vital is important for these players. There is a lot going on at the moment that these people have to be unpacked and they better do well. It is better to do well. “
All three current stars of Liverpool seem to leave Anfield this summer. The trio is no longer a contract within a few months, with conversations that are apparently going on about innovations. Alexander-Arnold looks the most unlikely of the three to sign a new deal with the Reds in the midst of continuous ties with Spanish giant Real Madrid.
