This is undoubtedly fantastic news for Arsenal fans.

Saliba has been one of the Gunners’ best players this season and the fact that he’s signed for another year is a real boost.

However, as Romano says, the real aim is to tie Saliba to a new long-term deal and negotiations are ongoing to that end.

Whether or not Saliba will sign a new contract remains to be seen, but in our opinion he would be a fool to walk away from Mikel Arteta’s project now.

Saliba was unreal in this team and at just 21 years old he needs to develop in this way under a coach who trusts him wholeheartedly.

Ultimately, Saliba could consider joining a team like Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​but for now, he should focus on developing his craft and perfecting his game at Arsenal.

This mini-contract extension is certainly a boost for the Gunners but the club may not be really sure about Saliba’s future until he signs a new long-term deal.
