Arsenal have made some great signings last summer. As a result, they are leading the Premier League table this season.
Both Manchester City and Aston Villa are behind them by four points. And a lot of credit should go to the Gunners for the way they handled transfers last summer.
Andrea Berta was on fire in his first transfer window as the Sporting Director. He backed Mikel Arteta in the best possible way.
That is why the Gunners also finished the preliminary phase of the Champions League by winning all of their eight matches.
Without any doubt, competition for places in the Arsenal squad is fierce. That is why some of the players who were first-choice in the past now find themselves on the bench.
However, there is one player who might leave the Gunners next summer. And if that deal goes through, it will shock everyone.
Last summer, Arsenal paid around £255 million, and their next spend was more than that of Liverpool. So, there is a need to balance the books.
That is why, even though the Gunners are unwilling, they might have to part ways with one of their most influential midfielders.
And the situation has alerted some of the giants of European football. According to Hooligan Soccer, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are preparing a move for Martin Odegaard.
The Arsenal captain has been one of the most important players for the Gunners. However, they have to adhere to the Profit and Sustainability Rules.
That is why if Arsenal get a substantial offer for Odegaard, they might have to sit down and negotiate. The 27-year-old’s contract will expire in 2028.
So, next summer could be crucial for the Gunners if they want a substantial offer for a player of the quality of the Norwegian.
Thus, if Bayern or Inter make a good offer, there is a possibility that the Arsenal captain may not stay at the Emirates next season.
