Laurent Koscielny is taking legal advice, after claiming his wages will be cut in half, as his bitter contract row with Arsenal continues, the UK Mirror reports.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old and his representatives are due to meet club officials this weekend, to try and resolve the issue.<\/p>\n

The Gunners captain is trying to force a move away from the Emirates.<\/p>\n

Koscielny refused to travel for the club\u2019s US tour and is angry after negotiations over a new deal.<\/p>\n

The French defender has only got 12 months left on his \u00a3100,000-a-week deal and wanted an extra year, with the club insisting there was no automatic extension clause.<\/p>\n

Arsenal were willing to give Koscielny an extra year, with a guaranteed free transfer next summer.<\/p>\n

But it would be on a lower basic with performance incentives and bonuses and the player insists it effectively cuts his basic wage in half.<\/p>\n

Bordeaux are offering him a three-year contract, but only if he is a free agent. Lyon are also keen.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
