Martin Odegaard will play on the arsenal next season.
As it has been confirmed by this newspaper, Real Madrid and the London Club accelerate this Wednesday the last fringes of a sale that will be closed by a figure close to 40 million euros and that could become official in the next few hours.
The idea of the ‘Gunners’ is that Odegaard, who has been without training with the rest of the Madrid staff in Valdebebas, makes her debut at the Premiere 2021-2022 this weekend before Chelsea in the London derbi.
The situation of the Norwegian was complicated during the first stretch of last season, when after being holder with Zinedine Zidane, an injury and the bad streak of the team pulled him from the holding alignments.
The Nordic, to which Madrid had recovered from the Royal Society ahead of time, had no patience and asked to leave in the winter market.
The Arsenal appeared, where Mikel Arteta handed him half-held and became an axis of the attack.
This summer, already with Ancelotti, the idea of the Club and Italian coach directive was to recover the best version of Odegaard, that which had given him the Revelation Poster of the League with the Real.
But neither will that plan come to a good port.
“We have eight midfielders,” Ancelotti summarized at a press conference a few days ago.
Casemiro, Kroos, Modric, Valverde, Ceballos, Isco, White … Even Asensio.
Odegaard is not indisputable, as he has promised him in the London spotlights, and Madrid, arrived that point, does not see bad eyes selling a footballer who, according to the club, has not wanted to fight like others for a position
.
The example of Fede Valverde, whose renovation is aimed, is the one that gives the most pride to Madrid.
The Norwegian arrived at Valdebebas 16 years after having tried with the great clubs of the old continent.
Madrid paid 2.5 million to Stromsgodset and now sells it for almost 40. At an economic level, an ideal operation.
