Martin Odegaard has reportedly attracted interest from Bayern Munich, with the German giants linked with a potential move for the Arsenal captain. However, the latest update from Christian Falk will come as encouraging news for the Gunners, as he has played down the possibility of the midfielder joining the Bundesliga club.Odegaard remains one of the leading midfielders in world football and has been a central figure at Arsenal for much of his time in North London. He has also captained the team for several seasons, establishing himself as one of the most important players in Mikel Arteta’s squad.His importance is reflected in his regular place in the starting eleven. Whenever he has been unavailable through injury, Arsenal have welcomed him back into the team as soon as he has been fit enough to play.Bayern Munich interest played downBayern are among the biggest clubs in European football and have quality players across their squad. Odegaard would undoubtedly attract attention from such a team, but his injury record could raise questions about the risks involved in signing him.His age could also be a significant factor in any potential transfer, particularly given Bayern’s existing options in midfield. Falk believes the Norwegian is no longer a realistic target for the German champions, despite the speculation linking them with him.(Photo by Michael Steele/Getty Images)Falk explains why Odegaard will not join BayernSpeaking about the rumours, Falk dismissed the possibility of a move and explained that Bayern have little reason to pursue another player in Odegaard’s position.According to Caught Offside, Falk said:“He’s now too old and far too good for it to be an option for FC Bayern – especially at a time when the club is already fully stocked in this position,”“Remember, when he was very, very young (I think about 16 or so), he was at Säbener Straße for a training session week when Pep Guardiola was the manager. At this point, it was very interesting for FC Bayern to sign the player, but they didn’t get him in the end.“It’s always nice to see such names connected with the Bundesliga giants, but he won’t be coming to Bayern any time soon. Sorry!”The comments suggest Arsenal need not be overly concerned about Bayern making an approach for their captain. Odegaard remains an important part of Arteta’s plans, and the latest update indicates that a transfer to Munich is not expected to happen any time soon._____________________________________________________________________________________________ADMIN COMMENTSo here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans.
