Overview
- Barcelona have been linked with adding Martin Ødegaard to a summer 2026 shortlist with a planned June approach, according to the social media account Indykaila.
- Football España relayed the claim and noted Deco’s public stance that Barcelona do not intend to make January signings.
- The club’s expected priority is a new number nine, and LaLiga salary‑limit pressure makes a big‑fee midfield move look unlikely at present.
- Ødegaard would have two years remaining on his Arsenal contract next summer, a situation that typically commands a significant transfer fee.
- Neither Barcelona nor Arsenal has confirmed interest, with reporting suggesting any bid could require raising funds through sales or swaps.
