Martin Odegaard Faces a Crossroad

 

Norway international Martin Odegaard is not sure what his future will be for next season.

The player is on loan at Arsenal, a club that has given him everything he has requested.

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta wants the player to stay at the Emirates and would be do everything possible to arrange a definitive transfer with Real Madrid.

Odegaard wants to be part of a club that allows him to play regularly, which is unlikely to happen if he returns to Real Madrid. Since the 22-year-old has never been in the plans of Zinedine Zidane, who has entrusted Los Blancos midfield to Luka Modric, Tony Kross, and Casemiro.

Zidane does not seem willing to change his scheme and make room for Odegaard.

In addition, the club would be willing to sell the young Norwegian. Since they need money to finance the construction of their new stadium and the possible signings of Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.

The problem is that Odegaard is not very motivated to stay at Arsenal as the club will not participate in European competitions next season.

In fact, BBC Sport reports that Odegaard could be looking for another club that allows him to play a European tournament. The player is confident that his ability would allow him to earn a spot at any other club.

Arsenal is confident that they can convince Odegaard to stay in North London and be part of the project to return the club to the top of the Premier League and European competitions.
