Will Odegaard leave Arsenal?

Tensions with manager Mikel Arteta and financial pressure could lead to Martin Odegaard leaving Arsenal after this season.

Arsenal may sell Odegaard due to financial pressure.

According to AS , the Norwegian midfielder feels his role at the Emirates Stadium is diminishing, especially as he has been consistently substituted early recently despite still wearing the captain's armband. Odegaard believes that the current tactical approach makes it difficult for him to showcase his creativity.

Arteta's system demands that attacking midfielders move constantly, press hard, and participate more in defense. Conversely, the coaching staff is unhappy with the inconsistent performance of the 26-year-old.

Despite his contract running until 2028, Odegaard is reportedly seriously considering his future at Arsenal. Several major European clubs, such as Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, are said to be closely monitoring the situation, waiting for an opportunity to sign him.

Besides professional factors, Arsenal also faced financial pressure after a summer transfer window where they spent over £268 million to bring in new signings such as Eberechi Eze, Viktor Gyokeres, and Martín Zubimendi.

Despite a significant increase in revenue thanks to their Champions League success, Arsenal still have to comply with strict financial regulations. If they need to generate substantial revenue, selling a valuable star like Odegaard could be a surprising but financially sound decision.

What scenario awaits Arteta if Arsenal end the season empty-handed again? It's not an exaggeration to say that Arteta is the most backed manager Arsenal has ever had.
