Odegaard on Arsenal future: “I hope to stay”, talks yet to begin
The Arsenal captain, whose contract runs to 30 June 2028, wants to stay in London, while Bayern Munich are linked with the Norwegian.
Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard has no plans to leave London, but he has not yet started talks over a new contract. He made that clear to reporters while on international duty with Norway, as TuttoMercatoWeb reports.
The midfielder is under contract until 30 June 2028, meaning he has 18 months left on his deal. He says he is happy at the club and hopes to stay for a long time, although negotiations have not begun.
The context is favourable: after an injury-hit season, Odegaard has started this campaign with five goals, and Arsenal lead the Premier League, five points clear of Manchester City.
According to Sky Germany, as reported by Metro, Bayern Munich have been in ongoing contact with the player, who would be open to joining them. Arsenal would consider selling him next summer if no new deal is agreed.
The champions return to action away at Newcastle on Saturday 21 November.
The captain wants to stay, the club wants to get a renewal done, and the Bayern noise has not gone away.
