The full picture

Arsenal star Martin Ødegaard is open to playing for Bayern Munich in the future, according to Sky Sport, as reported by Bavarian Football Works. Ødegaard has had ongoing contact with Bayern Munich over the past few years, but a transfer never materialized. Arsenal is now working on an early contract extension for Ødegaard, whose current contract runs until 2028. The club wants to avoid him leaving on a free transfer in 2028.

Bayern Munich is not currently prioritizing a move for Ødegaard, despite his interest in the club. The team is well-stocked with players who can feature at the No. 10 position, making a transfer unlikely. Ødegaard's potential move is considered a rumor that should be taken with caution. Liverpool, meanwhile, is exploring a loan move for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Harry Kane's new contract with Bayern Munich is expected to be signed soon, with no release clause included, according to Bavarian Football Works. The contract is expected to run until 2029, with some minor details still to be cleared. Kane is reportedly in agreement with the terms, and talks are expected to resume soon. The lack of a release clause is seen as a significant aspect of the deal.
