Overview
- Multiple outlets citing The Telegraph report Arsenal expect to sell at least one first‑team player in the summer to rebalance finances after heavy recent spending.
- Names repeatedly mentioned as candidates include Martin Ødegaard, Gabriel Martinelli and Ben White, with some reports also listing academy duo Ethan Nwaneri and Myles Lewis‑Skelly, though other sources suggest the youngsters are unlikely to depart.
- Agent‑industry reporting links Ødegaard to interest from Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, Barcelona and Atlético Madrid, with mooted valuations up to around €100m, while Martinelli is discussed near €65m.
- Club accounts for 2024‑25 show record revenue of £690.3m and £81m in player‑sale profits, alongside post‑period transfer fees of roughly £268m and a further £45m owed to make Piero Hincapié’s move permanent.
- Finance analysts highlight a shift toward monetising academy talent under PSR/SCR frameworks, but media stress that Arsenal have not decided on specific exits and no agreements have been reached.
