Real Madrid reportedly remain undecided over the future of playmaker Martin Odegaard.
The Norway captain enjoyed a productive loan spell with Arsenal during the 2020-21 campaign, and the Gunners are understandably keen to strike a permanent deal for the Real Madrid man.
Odegaard has affirmed on several occasions that he is happy in North London, but Real Madrid have always been expected to integrate him into the first team for the 2021-22 season.
However, AS claims that there are conflicts within the Real Madrid hierarchy over whether to sell Odegaard or keep him on the books ahead of the new season.
The report claims that Real Madrid's volatile financial situation could lead the La Liga giants to consider a sale, but others view Odegaard as a vital part of their future midfield alongside Federico Valverde.
Odegaard scored two goals and set up two more for Arsenal in all competitions during his loan spell, with the two assists coming in his final two Premier League games against Crystal Palace and Brighton & Hove Albion.
