Barcelona have reportedly added Martin Odegaard to its list of transfer targets as the Catalan club continues its pursuit of world-class talent to strengthen its squad. The Spanish giants are well known for their desire to maintain a team filled with some of the finest players in world football, and their latest interest suggests they are once again looking towards the Premier League to find their next marquee signing.
The Premier League has long been one of Barcelona’s favourite markets for recruiting elite players, and earlier in the summer, they were linked with Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli. Although that move did not materialise, attention within the club’s recruitment department has now turned to another Arsenal star who has been consistently influential in recent seasons.
Barcelona’s admiration for Odegaard
As reported by Sports Mole, Barcelona are said to admire the Arsenal captain and have now added his name to their growing transfer shortlist. The Norwegian midfielder has developed into one of the most creative and technically gifted players in the Premier League, consistently contributing both goals and assists while displaying remarkable leadership qualities. Barcelona reportedly view him as a player who could seamlessly integrate into their style of play, built around intelligent movement, possession control and creative flair in midfield.
Over the years, Barcelona have been home to some of the best talents in world football, and despite already boasting several accomplished midfielders in their current squad, they appear to believe that Odegaard’s addition would enhance both quality and depth. His calmness on the ball, eye for a pass and composure under pressure are attributes that fit perfectly within the identity Barcelona strive to maintain.
Potential summer approach and Arsenal’s stance
With the season still ongoing, any concrete movement is expected to occur only after its conclusion. However, Barcelona’s management is expected to act upon their transfer priorities once the campaign ends, and an approach for Odegaard cannot be ruled out. Testing Arsenal’s resolve to keep their captain would be a significant challenge, particularly given his importance to the team’s structure and the leadership role he plays.
Nevertheless, the reported interest highlights the continued recognition of Odegaard’s growing stature in European football. Should Barcelona decide to pursue the move formally, it would undoubtedly be one of the most notable transfer stories of the upcoming summer window, reinforcing the club’s ambition to maintain its position among the elite of world football.

He should leave ASAP.😕
Odegaard is no longer needed in this Arsenal team.
Can’t give Assists anymore, Can’t shoot from outside the Box, Can’t motivate teammates and Overall a BAD captain.☹️☹️
I think that is a bit harsh. He has had a bit of a stop start time and if you have ever played football you will know that impacts you. I think he still will come right and offer a lot to this team that no one else can. His eye for a pass is still unmatched and some of his not delivering an assist has been down to others not finishing them.
Judge him once he has had a good run of games again
Who is this gonk?🙄
Ok friend…go back to your test match…totally ridiculous comment
Really ???😂😂😂😂
The only reason we beat Newcastle was Odergaad.. That win effectively kick started our season
No mate, it was a team effort and that’s what MA is all about!!
Ok friend…go back to your test match…totally ridiculous comment
Odegaard is still our playmaker………with him available for selection it’s a plus for the Gooners, if we ever needed him, we need him now. After November FIFA international break we will be a well oiled machine.
Do you really know soccer. He’s the best there is. In any event, those crooks at Barcelona are impoverished. They simply can’t, that is if we were selling but we are NOT
The last two matches Ødegaard played he was at his best and dominated that midfield, it was unfortunate of the injury, Arsenal can’t be at a comfort zone with what is currently happening, teams are going to figure out our team very soon and the creativeness of Ødegaard will again come in handy especially to break defenses of opposition clubs🤞🏽
Seriously don’t know what football matches you have been watching. You seem lack an understanding of the structure and history of this squad.
They are queueing up now, the cemetery of talents wants Saliba and the young Dowman, now the Catalán Giants is adding captan Odegaard to their shopping list.
Seems teams from Europe are expecting a fire sale after the title is won.
sometimes I wonder if those making comments are actually Arsenal supporters
Odegaard is going nowhere yet. Saliba is staying for 5 years except a dip in form. Barcelona and Real Madrid should look elsewhere. We must consolidate what we have. Mistakes of the past shouldn’t be repeated. Arsenal Win.
Odegaard not leaving the arsenal that is our playmaker may be in ten years to come
