Arsenal Newsnow: After receiving interest from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Arsenal allegedly halted contract negotiations with manager Mikel Arteta. The Sun reports that both Barcelona and Manchester City are interested in the Spanish manager for the long haul. After failing to advance beyond the round of 16, Les Parisiens are ready to fire Christophe Galtier as manager.

Xavi Hernandez and Pep Guardiola have done enough for their respective teams that Barcelona and Manchester City are happy. However, Arteta is reportedly being considered with a long-term plan in mind.

The Gunners have put off contract negotiations with Arteta until after their Premier League run is over. After 31 games, Arsenal is four points ahead of second place.

Second-placed However, Manchester City has been unstoppable, collecting 22 of a possible 24 points. The Gunners don’t have to worry about Arteta’s contract since it doesn’t expire until the summer of 2025.

When the former Manchester City assistant manager re-upped in May, he was promised a salary bump of £3 million. The 41-year-old has a chance to win the Premier League with Arsenal for the first time since Arsene Wenger did it in 2003–2004.
