However, Arsenal have already opened talks with their captain and his representatives over a new contract, with all parties keen to reach an agreement.
It is claimed that Bayern Munich have maintained contact with Odegaard’s representatives for several years, although the player is currently not considered a primary target for Vincent Kompany’s side.
Juventus are also keen on Odegaard, but their interest is not believed to be as advanced as that of other clubs.

Several other top European sides have also made enquiries about Odegaard’s current situation.
Arsenal are determined to avoid a situation in which Odegaard enters the final year of his contract without agreeing fresh terms. Should negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the Gunners could reportedly consider selling their captain next summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer in 2028.
Odegaard initially joined Arsenal on loan from Real Madrid in January 2021 before completing a permanent move later that year. The Norwegian has since established himself as one of Arteta’s most influential players and was appointed club captain in the summer of 2022.
