Los Blancos are reportedly determined to sign Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe but the French talisman will cost an arm and a leg to prise away from the Parc des Princes.

Thus, Real manager Carlo Ancelotti understands that he will either have to sell some players or reduce salaries.

That is why the likes of Odegaard and Mendy are susceptible to a sale in the summer.

That is music to Arsenal's ears as the the north Londoners are very keen on landing the Norway international on a permanent deal.

Odegaard joined the Gunners during the second half of last season on loan from the Spanish giants.

The talented playmaker impressed during his brief stint at the Emirates with two goals and two assists in 20 appearances across all competitions.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is still looking to sign an attacking midfielder and the 22-year-old remains his top target.

However, it all depends on what Ancelotti wants to do at the Santiago Bernabeu.
