If he asks for my left nut in order to renew I would considered it a cheap deal.
The moment he turned between three Sp**s players, Jesus wept that was so good.

Needs to get his contract signed ASAP. Him, Saka and Martinelli.
We are now in 50m+ player territory, with Saliba probably 80m already at this age. Edu is going to look like a ****ing rockstar with his sales going forward.

Top quality. Sign the thing.

Of course. He can't be crowned on 8 matches but he's got the kind of calmness that I remember marveling at Van Dijk having in the CL Final against the ****. He's never troubled. He just goes around doing what he wants to do and nobody can rattle him. Son was as anonymous as I've ever seen him today. Whenever he got past White, Saliba was there just to calmly send him back where he came from empty handed.

Closer to 100M, contract situation or not. Look what Fofana just went for and Saliba has always been 2 levels above him.

My biggest hope is, that he is really a gunner and doesn't want it so fast. But lets be realistic, he could play in every club of this world as a starter.

The thing is contract lengths are pretty meaningless in terms of keeping a player these days. If a player really wants to go, he's going. Irrespective of if he has 1 year or 5 left.
As scary as it sounds, Saliba isn't the finished product yet. There's fairly significant room to improve still.
Get week in week out football on a bumper new deal and then move on to PSG or Real in 2-3 years. He'll still be nowhere near his peak at that point either.

Contract lengths might be meaningsless "in terms of keeping a player" - they are not meaningless in terms of value. We need to secure the value of our investment at least. Obviously, we want more than that.

If we manage to extend him the only unfortunate part is it's going to be like Henry and Vieira where the likes of Madrid are hammering down the door every summer but of course when you have that problem it means that you have an absolute top drawer player who hopefully is winning you things. That's certainly a better problem to have than players nobody wants like Mustafi and co.

If he plays a key role for France in a successful WC campaign, we're going to have to buckle up, if not already.
Having said that, I'm quietly optimistic he'll extend with us this renewal cycle since he's a nailed-on starter and developing at an impressive rate, although there may be a dose of rose-tinted glasses involved. He's also solidifying himself as a regular fixture in the French NT setup.
Admittedly, we're not amongst Europe's elite atm, but we're trending upwards and a great fit for him to mature into one of the best defenders in the world. If he extends, the next renewal cycle when he's in his mid 20's would be the one I'd be more worried about (not that I don't have a hint of concern currently). Not too dissimilar to Saka in that regard imo.

If it were me and he and his camp were amenable I'd have a gentleman's agreement with him that if he signs a new long term deal that if in 2-3 years time a club comes in with an offer over £x then the club won't stand in his way to leave.
Country: England
Yeah I was desperate for him to get a fair chance, expecting him to have the odd bad game and having to defend him. I definitely did not expect this level as Arteta's decision did play on my mind and pay closer attention to his weaknesses.
The thread pages is very low which confirms how good he is, I've not had to say nothing his displays have done all the talking.
Country: Norway
Maybe I'm an idealist, but I do think our draw is perhaps bigger than that. We'll see.
Country: England
Yep, I'm sorry @Blood on the Tracks but I can't really agree with you, even in terms of keeping a player the contract length is important because of leverage.
Of course there are situations in which a player will leave regardless (especially when the money offered is really good), and other situations where a player is always going to stay (like Saka extending in the 2019/20 season).
But if you've got a guy with 4 years left on his contract, he has less power to force a move than a guy with 1 year left who can threaten not to play and leave the following year on a free.

Always knew he was elite you can tell buy his demeanour, no silly dances or weird hair cuts. Just a serious professional young man.

His composure in and around the box is next level. Even his defensive headers are aimed at teammates most of the time, which did lead to the goal, but nothing he can do about Xhaka miscontrolling it.

He's still got a lot of room to improve which is scary.
Unreal potential.

Saliba 'not in a rush' to sign a new contract at Arsenal as he holds all the 'power'
David Ornstein claims William Saliba is in no "rush" to sign a new contract at Arsenal with the French defender holding all the "power".

Wait when I say it I am a Contesexual; when these guys say it they are journalists?Fact is he would be insane to sign a deal before WC. If France win and he starts for them as a 21 year old CB then I doubt he would resign with us unless he started whole year and had a great year. And I don’t think eeking out 4th and no trophy would be a great year for a player like Saliba that is a bare minimum. Arteta’s bizarre 3rd loan spell has got Edu dressed in lingerie, wearing red pumps and bent over a barrel for saliba’s agent. If I was PSG I’d offer him 450k a week what do they care; a young, blooded, classy, and athletic center back is worth his weight in gold. We need trophies and big money to keep him long term
Player:Saliba
How much should we offer him a week and why is it £200k?
