Arsenal attacking midfielder Mesut Ozil is expected to sign a new contract that will see him earn in excess of £250,000-a-week according to the Sun.
The contract of the Germany international expires next year but boss Arsene Wenger is determined to keep him at the club as he considers him one of the most pivotal players in his line-up.
Earlier this week, club legend Martin Keown declared that the club should take seriously the possibility to sell the 28-year-old and Chile's Alexis Sanchez.
"If they have to say cheerio to those two players, then that is the right decision," Keown told the BBC.
"They have been overindulged at times this season and they let Arsenal down in the period when they lost twice to Bayern Munich, conceding 10 goals.
"That is the level of the problem.
"The manager needs to make some really tough decisions now. Sanchez's contract needs to get 100% secured. Is that going to happen? Will Ozil leave?
"I am sure both players want to go elsewhere because they want to win the Champions League, win the Premier League and maybe they do not feel it can be done at Arsenal.
"The club is bigger than two individuals."
