There has been some fresh reports in the media which have claimed that Martin Odegaard is ready to quit Arsenal at the end of the current season.
Over the past few years, Odegaard has developed into one of the very best midfielders in world football, and one of the most important players that Mikel Arteta has at his disposal.
However – ESPN [via Football London] recently claimed that Arsenal are targeting the signing of Real Madrid’s Arda Guler to become Odegaard’s eventual replacement in the midfield at the Emirates Stadium
The Norwegian hasn’t been prioritised by sporting director Andrea Berta for a new deal in north London. Instead, Jurrien Timber and Declan Rice are next on the club’s list for negotiations after Bukayo Saka’s future was secured.
Now Fichajes.net have claimed that Odegaard has grown uncomfortable with the team’s current direction or his recent role and is ready to lack his bags at the end of the season and seek a fresh challenge.
However, these claims can be contradicted by Odegaard’s instant impact in Arteta’s side after returning from injury last year with the midfielder displacing summer signing Eberechi Eze.
The reports also claim Bayern Munich believe the Norwegian’s leadership to be an extremely attractive quality, and would be willing to match Arsenal’s asking price of around £70 million.
IcFootballnews Says…
Odegaard is one of the biggest players at Arsenal, he is a man that the club can really rely on and a star that the fans will not want to sell leave the club. We are not sure why he would not be happy at ARSENAL, he has never really shown any desire to leave the club.
But he has not been the same player that he has been this season, there have even been times that he really struggled to make any sort of impact on that Gunners side, so it would be a shock to see him leave the club.
However – we would not be surprised to see him actually leave for a big fee.
