Renowned insider Fabrizio Romano has shared fresh insights regarding the future of Arsenal's holding midfielder, Declan Rice.
Arsenal are currently working on extending several contracts. A few weeks ago, they successfully reached and announced an agreement with Mikel Arteta, who will remain at the club until June 2030.
Now, the Gunners have made significant progress in negotiations for a long-term extension with Rice. The parties are in the final stages of discussion, with salary terms nearly agreed upon, leaving only the contract duration and minor details to be finalised.
The club’s hierarchy is extremely optimistic and considers the England international a vital part of their long-term project. Rice is held in high regard by fans, officials, his manager, and teammates alike. An official signing is expected to take place shortly.
The 27-year-old's current contract runs until June 2028. He joined Arsenal from West Ham in the summer of 2023 for a fee of €116.6 million. This season, Rice has already contributed four assists in ten matches.
