Arsenal are reportedly preparing to open talks with David Raya over a new long-term contract as they look to secure the future of Mikel Arteta’s undisputed first-choice goalkeeper.
Raya’s current agreement runs until 2028, meaning there is no immediate pressure on Arsenal to act. However, the 31-year-old recently admitted that he would like to experience La Liga at some stage of his career, giving the Gunners an added incentive to extend his stay before his contractual position becomes more complicated.
According to Football Insider, Arsenal are expected to sit down with Raya to discuss extending his contract beyond 2028. The Spaniard recently said he is “very happy” at Arsenal but acknowledged that playing in his homeland remains a future ambition.
