Reports suggest Barcelona believe Arsenal midfielder is ready for a big career switch.
Barcelona circle Arsenal midfielder
Arsenal has had a great run of games and the same was led under head coach Mikel Arteta. They have taken the opportunity of Liverpool’s decline in form to take the first place in the PL without any worries.
The Gunners completed their CUL group undefeated. However, they easily passed through the Carabao Cup rounds. But, rumours from Spain are taking shape as well.
As per multiple reports, Barcelona are keen on Arsenal’s skipper, Martin Odegaard.
A potential summer storm at the Emirates
Odegaard’s exit from Arsenal would mean not only losing a creative source but also breaking the foundation of Arteta’s plan. The player in the middle of the field has developed into the most important player for the team by dominating the game and being a source of good atmosphere in the surrounding places.
It is not a surprise that FC Barcelona takes an interest in him. They have been tracking the player and his growth since the day he was at Real Madrid. They now think of him as strong enough to be the next leader at Camp Nou.
Although, no official offer has been made yet. But, the possibility of a transfer in summer is becoming more and more accepted. For the Gunners’ fans, this situation is a sign that every time they are successful, they would attract the eyes of top teams in Europe. Moreover, they will have to struggle not only to win but also to hold onto their key players.
Author’s opinion:
A attempt by Barcelona might really challenge Arsenal’s strength of character. Odegaard is a perfect match for Barca’s way of playing. But, the links with Arteta might be the decisive reason keeping him in London.
