#3 Raul Sanllehi assures no more player-contracts to run to the final year
Raul Sanllehi, Arsenal's Director of Football, said in an interview with the Telegraph that he will no longer allow the player contracts to run down to the last year.
Forwards Aaron Ramsey and Danny Welbeck are currently in the final term of their contract, and the Gunners risk losing them for free at the end of the season, quite akin to the Alexis Sanchez situation.
“In general, I do believe that a player’s contract should never go to the last year, as a policy,” said Sanllehi. “But I don’t think I am inventing the wheel. Anybody could agree on that. Normally, the contracts of the players are for five years. You need to have a clear idea of what you want to do with that player when he is in the third year, at the latest.”
