Although Arsene Wenger revealed that the contract with Santi Cazorla will be extended, London's "Arsenal" fans definitely have something to worry about.
Speaking about the situation of team leaders Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez, whose contracts have only 18 months left, the strategist said that the club is bigger than one or two players.
According to various reports, negotiations with the "Gunners" stars are stalling because they want to become some of the best-paid "Premier" league players.
"We will definitely extend the contract with Santi Cazorla," said Wenger.
However, his other words do not sound as optimistic: "Arsenal" is a big club. It's not like one or two players can change the club. What is important is that today we are in a strong financial position, which we did not have before."
"This also means that we are in a position where we can plan our future and do what we want. It is always important to care about the values of our club, our club's identity, and not depend too much on one or two players."
"The history of Arsenal is greater than that."
It is believed that Mesut Ozil currently earns £140,000 per week, while Alexis Sanchez earns £10,000 less. For comparison, the salary of former Arsenal captain now representing Chelsea, Cesc Fabregas, is £156,000.
