Cech’s weekly wage is £100.000, which is too much for a potential second goalkeeper, according to Gunners fans.
David Ospina, another goalkeeper, currently playing for Napoli on loan deal, has a £40.000/w salary.
Ospina’s future in Arsenal is almost decided, however Gunners still pay Colombia international his wage, which is also a problem for financial reports.
3 other players are Carl Jenkinson (£30.000/w), Nacho Monreal (£55.000 p/w) and Mohamed Elneny (£65.000 p/w).
Despite being a player of starting lineup, Nacho Monreal is already 32. His best years have already passed, and Arsenal can find a replacement for Spaniard in academy, or try Sead Kolasinac.
Jenkinson’s future is similar to Ospina’s. He is not playing for Gunners for consecutive seasons and will surely leave the club on permanent deal.
Mohamed Elneny, despite being an important player for rotation last season, can’t be assured for more playing time as Granit Xhaka, Lucas Torreira and Matteo Guendouzi have proved their class in starting matches.
Guendouzi will be used for rotation, while Xhaka and Torreira are confident for their positions under Unai Emery.
