Aaron Ramsey wants a significant increase on his current £110,000-a-week deal to commit his long-term future to Arsenal, claims The Times.
The Wales international’s current contract is due to expire at the end of next season but Arsenal want to resolve his future as quickly as possible.
Arsene Wenger’s side desperately want to avoid a situation with Ramsey like they encountered with Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil this season, but it will come at a cost.
Arsenal committed big contracts to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in January and now Ramsey wants to be rewarded for his services to the club.
The Gunners also managed to convince Ozil to pledge his long-term future to the club and Ramsey wants to be aligned with the top earners at the club.
The 27-year-old has just recovered from injury in time for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester City to provide Wenger’s side with a huge boost.
No Arsenal player has played a direct hand in more Premier League goals than Ramsey this season (12).
