David Luiz demands new two-year Arsenal deal

ARSENAL are set for crunch talks with David Luiz ahead of the defender's contract expiring at the end of the month.

Next Tuesday is the deadline for the Gunners to seal Luiz's future with reports suggesting he wants a new two-year deal.
The club can propose a temporary extension until the end of the season or activate an automatic 12-month renewal clause inserted into the player's contract.
However, according to the Mail, Arsenal do not want to pay Luiz his £120,000-a-week wages for another season.
The coronavirus pandemic is biting the club's finances hard, prompting a ten per cent pay cut agreed by the vast majority of the squad during football's shutdown.
A new contract on reduced terms may be on the table yet Mikel Arteta's side still favour a single year for the 33-year-old.
By contrast, Luiz reportedly wants a two-year deal having been a regular throughout the Gunners' turbulent season.
Kia Joorabchian, the Brazilian's agent, insisted on Thursday that the issue will be resolved in the coming days.
