Arsenal are considering the sale of key first-team players including captain Martin Odegaard to comply with financial regulations this summer.

The north London club have reportedly spent more than £260m on new recruits recently and must now balance their books.

According to the Daily Telegraph, the Premier League title challengers are holding internal discussions regarding potential high-profile departures.

Winger Gabriel Martinelli and defender Ben White have also been identified alongside the Norwegian playmaker as candidates to leave the Emirates Stadium.

Gunners chase defensive prospect

Mikel Arteta’s side are also competing to sign Fulham teenager Samuel Amissah.

The 18-year-old defender sees his contract expire this summer and has attracted interest from Manchester United and Chelsea.

European heavyweights Ajax, Juventus, and Marseille are also monitoring the England Under-19 international.

Real Madrid eye double swoop

Real Madrid have reportedly set aside €100m (£83m) to secure the services of Manchester City midfielder Rodri and Borussia Dortmund’s Nico Schlotterbeck.

Onda Cero reports that the Spanish giants believe a deal for the 29-year-old City anchor could be struck for approximately €60m.

Schlotterbeck is understood to be aware of the interest from the Bernabeu and is keen on a move to La Liga.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side are also tracking Eintracht Frankfurt left-back Nathaniel Brown, though the German club are demanding a fee of at least €60m.

Barcelona hunt for Lewandowski successor

Barcelona are exploring options to replace Robert Lewandowski, with the Poland international now in the final stages of his career.

The Catalan club have identified Atletico Madrid forward Julian Alvarez as a primary target, though he would likely cost around €100m.

Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic remains an alternative option should the Serbian forward not agree to a contract extension in Turin.

Camp Nou officials view the chances of signing Erling Haaland or Harry Kane as extremely remote.

Juventus target Tonali return

Juventus are plotting a move for Newcastle United midfielder Sandro Tonali, provided they secure Champions League football.

The Serie A side view the 25-year-old as a priority signing and could be prepared to pay €75m to bring him back to Italy.
