According to the website "Fichajes", FC Barcelona is studying the possibility of signing Norwegian star Martin Odegaard, currently playing for Arsenal, during the summer transfer window of 2026, as part of its plan to enhance the playmaking position in preparation for the new season.

The website explained that Odegaard, who is 26 years old, has impressed Barcelona's management with his high level of performance and experience in leading the midfield. The sports management sees him as a suitable option to support the team in the upcoming phase, coinciding with its desire to implement a new artistic project that is more effective offensively.

According to the same source, Barcelona does not intend to make any signings during the upcoming winter transfer window, leaving its plans currently focused on preparing for the summer of 2026. While the priority remains to sign a direct striker, Odegaard has emerged as a prominent option to strengthen the attacking midfield area.

The report indicated that the Catalan club is examining all technical and financial aspects related to the deal, as it understands that Arsenal will not easily part with its current captain, especially since he is one of the team's standout players at the moment.

The report also clarified that Barcelona faces several obstacles in its pursuit of signing Odegaard, the most significant being the high financial value of the deal and the salary constraints imposed on the club, in addition to the strong competition within the team for the same position.

Despite these challenges, Barcelona's management sees signing Odegaard as a strategic move that could provide a significant technical addition to the team in the long term, should it succeed in securing the necessary resources to complete the deal.
