Overview
- Arsenal-linked reports reiterate the club’s position that Martin Ødegaard is not for sale, with sources indicating no January exit will be entertained.
- Ødegaard will link up with Norway in a non-playing capacity to continue rehabilitation, with Ståle Solbakken describing progress as steady but not close to a return.
- Claims that Inter Milan made an approach described as rejected were carried by Football365 from an X account, and have not been independently verified.
- Barcelona’s interest has been reported, but the midfielder’s contract runs to 2028, which strengthens Arsenal’s leverage and raises any prospective fee.
- Mikel Arteta suggested several injured players could be near returns after the break, leaving a decision on Ødegaard’s availability for the Nov. 23 North London Derby uncertain.
