Robert Pires has revealed he is prepared to take a pay cut to stay at Arsenal, and insists he will not speak to any other clubs until he has resolved his Gunners future.
The French ace is out of contract at the end of the season and is waiting to meet Arsene Wenger to discuss his situation. The midfielder is chasing a new two-year deal, but Wenger has previously been reluctant to hand his elder statesmen more than 12-month contracts. Pires has been encouraged by Wenger's recent comments that he could consider handing the former Marseille man the contract he wishes. The 32-year-old is now hoping to reach a compromise with The Gunners, which would allow him to stay at the club when they move into their new home at Ashburton Grove. In addition, Pires has ruled out taking advantage of his impending Bosman status and will not talk to other teams. "I don't know what will happen as I have still not met Arsene Wenger," Pires told L'Equipe. "We should have a meeting before January 31. "I am waiting to see what he will offer me. Ten days ago in the press, he said he was keen to offer me a two-year contract. "It is impossible to keep my present conditions. At a certain time, you have to accept a wage cut. "But about the duration, I still wish for two years. "As long as I have not sorted out my case with Arsenal, I will not listen to other clubs. It would be a lack of respect for the club which gave me so much. "So I am waiting. Very honestly, that doesn't disturb me. I trust Arsene Wenger and Arsenal." |
