Martin Odegaard Confirms His Future at Arsenal Amid PSG Interest
Martin Odegaard, the captain of Arsenal, has confirmed that he wants to stay at the club for a long time amid transfer interest from Paris-Saint Germain. PSG is reportedly planning a shock move for Odegaard this summer after his impressive performance during the 2022-23 campaign. However, Arsenal has informed the French champions that their skipper is not for sale at any price.
In an interview with Norwegian outlet TV 2, Odegaard confirmed that he has no intention of leaving north London and wants to stay for a long time. He said, “I have a few years left on the contract, I’m fine and I hope to be at the club for a long time to come.” His current deal with Arsenal is due to expire in 2025.
Arsenal plans to open new contract talks with Odegaard in the near future. However, the 24-year-old has revealed that it may not get sorted until the 2023-24 season begins. “I have not spoken to them, that is not my task,” Odegaard added. “To be honest, I don’t know how the situation is right now. It’s not me who controls it. Now I’m focusing on the national team, so I may take it after the summer if they want to do something.”
Odegaard also spoke about missing out on the Premier League trophy and having to watch his international teammate Erling Haaland celebrate. “Even though we delivered a very good season for a long time, I am left with a sour feeling,” he said. “I’ve tried not to see so much of that stuff there, because it still stings. So I try not to think too much about it.”
