Arsenal Quietly Give Raya Pay Rise Without Extending 2028 Deal

The unannounced increase reflects a broader retention plan led by Andrea Berta to reward core performers.

Overview

  • Arsenal reached the agreement earlier in the summer, lifting David Raya’s salary above a previously reported £100,000 per week without public announcement.
  • The contract length remains to 2028 with an option to extend, mirroring an unpublicised pay rise given to Leandro Trossard.
  • Raya has secured back-to-back Premier League Golden Glove awards, sharing last season’s honor with Nottingham Forest’s Matz Sels.
  • He has 105 Arsenal appearances and 45 clean sheets, including a league-leading 33 Premier League clean sheets since his debut and a rate of one goal conceded every 114 minutes.
  • Talks are under way for Jurrien Timber and progressing for Bukayo Saka, with reports indicating Declan Rice and Martin Ødegaard are potential next recipients of new terms.
