  "account": "Declan Rice is reportedly set to sign a new contract with Arsenal, potentially earning a salary comparable to that of Bukayo Saka. The Gunners have been working diligently to secure contracts for their key players following Mikel Arteta's long-term commitment to the club. Arteta's deal with Arsenal extends until the summer of 2030, and the club aims to strengthen its squad while also retaining their established talent. Saka's new contract is reportedly worth over £300,000 per week, and Rice is expected to receive a similar increase in pay as the club continues its efforts to protect their core squad. Rice's arrival at Arsenal marked a significant investment, and his continued presence would reinforce the club's dedication to building a successful team capable of challenging for major trophies.",
