The name Ødegaard is causing a stir at FC Bayern Munich. According to Sky Sport, the Arsenal captain could , in principle, imagine playing for the German record champions in the future.

There has been ongoing contact between Ødegaard and Bayern Munich over the past few years. However, a transfer never materialized. Now, the situation has taken a new turn. Arsenal are working on an early contract extension for their playmaker.

The Norwegian’s contract currently runs until 2028. Arsenal have already held initial informal talks about extending his contract. Arsenal are keen to avoid Ødegaard entering the final year of his contract and potentially leaving on a free transfer in 2028.
