Turkish journalist Selman Ozturk asserts that Galatasaray are working to complete a deal for Martin Odegaard and that the Arsenal captain has agreed personal terms after his agent held talks with the club in Istanbul last week. It was also stated that an agreement between the clubs is now required, with Galatasaray hoping to secure a deal for under €40 million or pay a larger fee in instalments. BBC reporter Sami Mokbel recently claimed to have heard suggestions that Arsenal could be open to offers for Odegaard this summer. However, according to football.london, claims of an agreement with Galatasaray are false. Sources close to the player insist that his agent, Bjorn Kvarme, has not been in Istanbul recently and is currently with Odegaard in the United States. The 27-year-old is described as being very happy at Arsenal, and the club are also generally happy with him. He will report to pre-season as usual and is expected to stay with Arsenal.

According to sources for GOAL, Martin Odegaard is not set to leave Arsenal for Galatasaray this summer, with reports of a potential Emirates exit described as completely false.

Galatasaray has reached a total agreement with Arsenal captain Martin Ødegaard. The Norwegian international's agent, Bjorn Kvarme, was reportedly in Istanbul last week to finalize the accord, which is now said to be complete on all contractual aspects. The final step is an agreement between the two clubs, as Galatasaray and Arsenal are currently discussing the formula of the transfer.
