Odegaard ‘much easier’ signing than Maddison
Arsenal might find it easier to sign Martin Odegaard than James Maddison – despite Real Madrid’s decision to keep their midfielder.Maddison is thought to be the Gunners’top target as Mikel Arteta wants to fill the space left by Odegaard’s go back to the Bernabeu.And while Madrid employer Carlo Ancelotti appears to see Odegaard as
part of his plans, Sky Sports have actually reported that he would still be easier to prise away than Maddison.Leicester desire ₤ 70m for their 24-year-old attacking midfielder, who has three years left on his contract.And they are famously difficult negotiators, having made Manchester United pay ₤ 80m for Harry Maguire.Odegaard is in the final two years of his Madrid deal-and in spite of the La Liga giants’hesitation to offer, would still be offered for less than Maddison.
