Arsenal-linked playmaker Martin Odegaard is reportedly determined to stay at Real Madrid after holding positive talks with Carlo Ancelotti.

Real Madrid playmaker Martin Odegaard reportedly has no interest in a departure from the Bernabeu this summer.

The Norway captain endured a successful loan stint at Arsenal, although he all but ruled out a return to the Emirates with a heartfelt farewell message on social media.

Nevertheless, with Real Madrid under pressure to comply with La Liga salary caps, Arsenal have been tipped to reignite their interest in Odegaard as they seek out creative reinforcements.

However, Marca claims that the former Stromsgodset starlet is only interested in making a name for himself as Real Madrid following positive discussions with Carlo Ancelotti.

Odegaard failed to become a consistent part of Zinedine Zidane's plans at the Bernabeu, but Ancelotti has supposedly guaranteed the playmaker plenty of starts as Luka Modric reaches his twilight years.

The 22-year-old claimed two goals and two assists from 20 games at Arsenal, but he has only played 11 times for Real Madrid's senior team so far.
