Arsenal are attempting to tie down captain Martin Odegaard to a long-term contract after Paris Saint-Germain shortlisted the player to replace the outgoing Lionel Messi.
Messi is expected to leave the Ligue 1 leaders when his contract expires at the end of the current season, as reported by Mirror Football. Barcelona remain keen to sign the superstar, who celebrates his 36th birthday this summer but his next destination remains unclear.
PSG are working on signing a playmaker to help replace the Argentine superstar this summer. Recent reports had linked them with a move for Manchester City's Bernardo Silva but no decision has yet been made by the club management.
