Arsenal May Let Captain Martin Ødegaard Leave This Summer Despite His Status
Arsenal may sell captain Martin Ødegaard this summer if they receive a suitable offer, with injury issues limiting the Norwegian midfielder's availability this season.
Arsenal is reportedly considering releasing club captain Martin Ødegaard from the club in the upcoming summer transfer window if they receive a suitable offer. Ødegaard joined Arsenal in 2021 and has been a key player for the Gunners before recently being named team captain. However, the 27-year-old has faced recurring injury problems this season, which has limited his playing time and affected his form. According to Spanish media outlet Fichajes, Arsenal is already planning for the summer window. Reports have previously suggested the club may need to sell some players to raise funds for new signings. Ødegaard could be one of the notable players surprisingly made available for transfer, as manager Mikel Arteta does not consider him untouchable—a surprising development. Several clubs have expressed interest in the Norwegian midfielder, including Inter Milan and Aston Villa.
