"What's important to note about Odegaard's situation is that he is not pushing for a move and Arsenal will only sell if the price is right. The situation should become clearer soon, but there is understandable interest in the Norway international, whose asking price could be as high as 100m. After an injury-hit season and a slight loss of form, however, sources expect clubs to try negotiating for less than that."
"Martinelli, by contrast, is likely to be available for more like 65m. As things stand, he looks more likely to leave, and it's possible that if, for example, White were also to move on, that would be enough to balance the books sufficiently so that Odegaard's exit was not also required."
"Nwaneri's loan move was intended to provide the young midfielder with experience rather than putting him in the shop window, and both he and Lewis-Skelly only recently signed new long-term contracts."
Arsenal faces potential departures of key players this summer based on agent industry sources. Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli are realistic prospects to leave if the price meets Arsenal's valuation, with Odegaard's asking price potentially reaching £100m and Martinelli valued at approximately £65m. However, Odegaard is not actively seeking a move and Arsenal will only sell at the right price. Ben White's future also remains uncertain. Conversely, young prospects Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis-Skelly are unlikely to depart, having recently signed long-term contracts. Nwaneri's loan move aims to provide experience rather than showcase him for sale. The situation may clarify soon, with potential sales of other players possibly reducing the necessity to sell Odegaard.
