Arsenal will sell Martin Odegaard on one condition as he reaches verdict on joining Bayern Munich

Arsenal would reportedly consider a permanent sale of Martin Odegaard next summer if they cannot agree on a contract extension beyond 2028. According to Sky Germany, the Gunners are working to avoid the Norwegian midfielder entering the final year of his deal to prevent a free transfer. Odegaard can reportedly imagine playing for Bayern Munich in the future, though he is not currently viewed as a concrete target for the German club.

Arsenal have initiated informal talks regarding an extension, but they have also received offers from other European clubs. Meanwhile, former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Petit warned that Odegaard and Bukayo Saka must maintain elite performance levels under manager Mikel Arteta to retain their starting roles amid rising internal squad competition.
