FC Barcelona are reportedly preparing a shock summer move to sign Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard.
The 26-year-old midfielder is currently sidelined with a knee injury, though he is expected to return to action by the end of November.
Despite his time on the sidelines, Ødegaard has seemingly attracted serious interest from one of the biggest clubs in world football. Transfer insider IndyKaila reported on X tonight that FC Barcelona are eyeing a potential deal for Arsenal’s Norwegian playmaker.
It is understood that Hansi Flick’s side believe Ødegaard could be ready for a new chapter in his career, with the La Liga giants planning a possible swoop in the summer of 2026.
If true, the news would come as a major surprise given Ødegaard’s importance and commitment to Arsenal. Whether the Gunners’ captain would even consider such a move remains to be seen, especially given his previous spell at fierce rivals Real Madrid.
