At the end of last month, German Sky Sports highlighted the link between Bayern Munich and Martin Ødegaard, where there “is said to have been contact on several occasions in recent years”. Arsenal and the captain are well on their way to landing a contract extension, the question that was asked was whether the Bundesliga giant would sign up again before this is decided.

At this point, it was very interesting for FC Bayern to sign the player, but they didn’t get him in the end,” the German journalist continues.
