At the moment I think Odegaard is still very worthy of being retained and it is certain that Arsenal will do that.
Currently the vacant captain position has been completely replaced with Odegaard even though he is still very young but he is very capable of carrying the players on the field and being a good captain figure so I think sooner or later Odegaard will definitely be extended his contract.
Currently Odegaard's contract is still not urgent but in the end it is possible that at the latest the end of this season there will definitely be an extension for this young player because his potential is still very good for Arsenal.

Actually you have a point there. However I don't know what the reason was behind his being released by Leicester. I mean was it due to Leicester's seeing him an unnecessary player? Or was that because of Tielemans' not wishing to play for Leicester anymore? If it is the latter then Leicester had really nothing to do about his being free agent.

If this is the reason then I hope Aston Villa give him a second chance to shine again. If he doesn't meet the expectations anyway then there is no need to push more.

There is no any issue about Odegaard in Arsenal, so I assume it is not difficult for him to accept the contract extension. Odegaard can be a big player when he get full time to play and full of trust from the coach in Arsenal. It is very different when he ever played in Real Madrid, he can't get enough time to play. Since it is not easy to be the main player, I'm sure Odegaard won't think to leave Arsenal. Moreover, Odegaard becomes Arsenal mainstay player or Arsenal superstar now. He must feel very comfortable to stay in Arsenal. But it is normal if Odegaard probably wants a higher salary on his new contract. Personally, I believe Arsenal will be easy to extend Odegaard's contract.

He's the most influential player for Arsenal an has proved himself worthy of being the teams captain, and I agree with you when you said Odegaard is to Arsenal as Kelvin Debruyne is to City but thr difference for both clubs is that Manchester City can survive without playing with De Bruyne and they've proved it this season, but it would be tough for Arsenal to survive without playing with Odegaard, if you notice when they play against big teams they always really on Odegaard and some other few top players in the club and he comes to their rescue most times, like the recent match against Manchester United where he scored a super quick equalizer for Arsenal.
 Arteta is a good coach and all he needs is time to make Arsenal very great again, and I like the way he's developed his players to be very confident, they're very strong from the attacking position, but they really need to strengthen their backline to be very solid but I'm proud of the way Arteta has handled the team, their unism and team spirit and with the right fundings in the near future he would win the EPL.

Odegaard was really phenomenal in their last match against Manchester United. The reality of his impact became clear after he found the net shortly after Rashford scored for the visiting side.
 He is more in control now than before and it's a good start for him. I doubt he is going anywhere just yet, not when there's champions league, premier league and other trophies to contest for following Arsenals top spot finish last season.

Odegaard is only 24 and he is a very important player for Arsenal. I am sure Arteta will not want to lose him. Odegaard is to Arsenal what Kevin De Bruyne is to Manchester City. I also don't think Odegaard will want to leave Arsenal because Arsenal are becoming a better club every season. If the process of change and development that started under the leadership of Arteta continues for a few more seasons, Arsenal will cement their place among the best clubs in the world. I don't think Odegaard would want to leave such a club.

I said this during the season, Manchester United has problems from the top to the bottom of management, it's not normal for a team with money to be doing so much shit in every transfer window. they make ridiculous signings and I don't understand why they keep doing that, for example in the case of the goalkeeper, I didn't see any point in letting David De Gea go and then spending a lot of money on a new goalkeeper when the team's problem is in attack, they could have spent a lot of money buying players for the attack. for the attack they hired Rasmus Højlund, honestly, last season they didn't have a good attack, this season they didn't make any big signings for the attack, so how would the team score goals and win games that way?

If we look at the coach's methods, we can also think: does he really want to win games? let's be honest:

Does Manchester United have the squad to win the Premier League? they have squad to win the European Champions League?

I think it doesn't. and it looks like this club has no interest in winning the premier league and European champions league, maybe as you said if they sold the club, the new owners fired all the management and coaches, things would change. As long as these current owners remain, this team won't win anything relevant, it has become a mediocre team, with no weight in European competitions, it was lucky in the European League to eliminate Barcelona, nothing more. This season I doubt they will go far in the European Champions League

One thing people are failing to understand is that Cristiano Ronaldo is an almost complete player that his type cannot be easily matched up in a long time to come. I am not saying it is not possible, but as long as he’s still playing and didn’t retire from football yet, getting a player of his type can be hard. This is not only to Manchester United, but to every team he has played for in Europe. I don’t need to waste so much on young players hoping that they’ll be like him or play better than him in the future, where the focus should be is on how the team will do well with the existing players and not scouting and paying huge amount of money looking for player that can’t be find in anyone at anytime soon.

How managers are able to manage their players is very important because it plays a pivotal role on how the players will perform well in the field. This is what some clubs are lacking currently, even though they’ve signed all the good players they can think of, without good management, a team full of great players will not produce good results. I hope teams take time in scouting for good managers as they do when looking for a world class player to fit into a position in the squad.

Seria A campaign requires the very best from the players, putting them under much pressure if they're not reaching the expectated concentration. Perhaps Juventus are good enough to maintain elite players in the club, keeping all eyes on all their prominent players this season. Though it seems some of them would be leaving if their terms and conditions are not reach by the club, bianconeri working entirely on it. Andrien Rabiot is an important player for Juventus. The boss, Allegri Massimiliano looking forward to work with the Frenchman this season.

As you can see, United is in second place among football clubs (after Real Madrid). Such a brand cannot be cheap and is not always measured in money because the club is unique and if the owner does not want to sell it even for 100 billion, you cannot do anything. In my opinion, the Glazers are doing the right thing - they are trying to get the highest price possible.

Rabiot and Juventus is now talking in the possibility of extending his contract.

He will be a free agent at the end of the season but both parts want to continue together.

Maybe Sancho is not leaving right now, but he is definitely not happy playing for ETH and that means that he could leave some other time, maybe during winter window, maybe next summer but as long as United keeps staying with ETH, I feel like it is not going to be fine.

What United needs is a new owner, and then a new general manager that can run the club, fire all the staff, and I mean like all the way from director of football to the kitman, fire everyone who works there, get new ones that are much more professional, invest in the club itself, I do not mean just players, I mean from stadium to training to youth setup, everything and then hire a new manager. If they do this, they will be United we all knew, no way they improve without this change.

Joining Villarreal is surely going to be a gamble for the legendary Raul Gonzalez because currently they are in bad shape and it needs time to settle things in better way, and he is already doing good job at Real Madrid B with this most chances he could be better candidate for the first team coach in coming days even it's also not easy because after Carlos Ancelotti we have few other good names as well with Xabi Alonso with his word at Bayer Leverkusen doing good job but still this all is too early as we have to wait for the end of this year and how things will be settled for this team as well.

Few months back he already rejected the offer from Premier League club Leeds Untied as he loves to stay here so now rejecting the Villarreal offer is not big deal for him with the first priority is his own club Real Madrid.

Odegaard improved performance has helped Arsenal since his arrival, even though the competition in his first season was admittedly very difficult at the Emirates. The Gunners efforts to keep him for a long time are very appropriate, because several other top clubs want to take him out of Arteta squad. PSG is rumored to be very interested in the Norwegian attacking midfielder, Arsenal efforts to secure Odegaard with a long-term contract are very wise.

Extending player contracts not only retains top talent but also increases their market value. Players also embrace this trend, anticipating better compensation. Allowing players to run out their contracts and releasing them is becoming less common for key players, as clubs find it less profitable

Zidane already had a good time coaching Real Madrid winning trophies and managed a set of great players Real Madrid ever had as they dominated all of the European Football for three years.
He did resigned on his own free will and I doubt he will return to Real Madrid when Ancellotti leaves for the Brazil National Team.

I don't know nothing bout Raul, so I have nothing to say about the Madrid legend.
Xabi Alonso already handling youngins with Bayern Leverkusen, I would love to see him handling Real Madrid youngins too. So, I'm backing Xabi Alonso for the job.

I will rather come in from another angle. If we do not agree that Glazers are selfish, we should also agree that they are greedy. I mean they put up a club for sell and recieve one of the highest bids in the history of football and yet they do not want to sell. This is showing either greediness or selfishnes. Whatever be the case, Manchester United deserves the best with or without Glazers. I just want rl see a good Manchester United and that's all fans demand

Arsenal are concentrated on extending the contracts of their most important players currently. After the transfer window has been closed they are focused on securing the future of their players now. They are doing the right thing by acting already now. Because these players are attracting a lot of attention to themselves by their effort.

They have extended with some players like Martinelli already now it is Odegaard's turn. But I wonder whether he has the same thought with his team. His market value has reached 90 million euros after his brilliant effort here. His current contract ends in 2025. Arsenal had better give what he wants to keep a great talent like him for a long time.
