Arsenal is on the verge of finalising a new contract with Martin Odegaard as part of their efforts to secure their captain’s long-term commitment to the club.
Odegaard’s contributions have played a significant role in positioning Arsenal as a contender in the Premier League, and he has proven to be a trustworthy asset for the team.
The Gunners have recently extended contracts for key players such as Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, and William Saliba. Now, Odegaard is next in line for a new contract, and according to a report from Football Insider, the Norwegian midfielder is close to reaching an agreement that would see him earn over £200,000 per week.
This substantial salary would place him among the top earners at the club, underlining his vital importance to the team. Odegaard currently holds the captain’s armband, a testament to his significance to Arsenal, and it is expected that the new deal will be officially announced in the near future.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Odegaard is a terrific player for us and will get better, so we must keep him happy at all costs, knowing he is a player we can trust to do well for us now and in the future.
The Norwegian wants to be a part of our success story and we only have to play our role to make that happen.

That’s a decent salary, was a bit worried Havertz pay package would have blown Arsenal whole wage bill structure apart
A point well made
Suddenly wages spiral out of control
He’s on 195k a week plus a healthy bonus structure that brings it up to 250k. That’s pound sterling.btw. I know what your thinking. how do I know that? Well I know because I look deeper then a Wikipedia update. Just jokes mate, but that is the reality.
You are easily among the Britain’s top 0.5% earners if you make £200k a year.
Yet he get paid same every week for just kicking the ball around. In my next life, I want to be a footballer.
You have to remember that footballers (on high wages )pay 47 % in tax on these shores that go apparently back into the country if that’s to be believed .
Either way it’s a different life style that the humble working man or women will never get to see in their life ,just for kicking a bag of air around a patch of grass once or twice a week .
Sancho got a 3 month vacation at a idilic Dutch health facility whilst picking up £300k a week from that recently signed extension for doing absolutely nothing to merit that wage increase let alone add another 4 years to the existing two plus an option. The question of which club out there would pay 70m odd and take over his contract in January is not worth the breath spent asking it.
