Barcelona wants to strengthen the team, but the team’s difficult financial situation may not allow that, and for this reason the club is turning to solutions in which it will give up some stars in exchange for contracting with other stars.
The same thing is sought by the Arsenal Board of Directors, which is already thinking about possible reinforcements, and requests negotiations with Joan Laporta and the Barcelona Board to strengthen relations between the two clubs.
Arsenal wants to continue to grow and be able to be Premier League champions, something they have not achieved since 2004 It has been almost two decades since the last league that Arsenal celebrated and with Mikel Arteta leading the London side the ambition of the team and the fans has risen.
Barcelona can help them achieve this, but the English team will also have to cooperate with Barcelona.
According to what was published by the newspaper “El Nacional”, the team coached by Arteta is interested in Frenkie de Jong, a player who has not had any luck this season. Deco, the sporting director, said that selling the player is better for the team than having him available.
Although the player wants to stay at Camp Nou, Arsenal wants to try to negotiate with Joan Laporta to see if they can win the player’s services or not, but Barcelona wants to include Martin Odegaard in the process they want to move forward with.
Martin Odegaard has undoubtedly been a breakout star for Arsenal 2022/23. The Norwegian was unlucky during his time at Real Madrid, and changed his mind until he found his ideal place at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal cannot be understood without a figure like Odegaard, a player adored by Xavi and the Barcelona board, although there is plenty of competition for the team’s midfield positions.
Joan Laporta also does not want to let De Jong leave without signing a player of the same type as Norwegian Martin Odegaard.
