Spanish media outlet Marca has been closely following the form of Norwegian wonderkid Martin Odegaard since he had a trial at Real Madrid recently. And the quotes that they have from the lad, about his experiences in Madrid, seem to bode well for his future at the club.
“I like the set-up Real Madrid have in place for young players”
he told Norwegian TV.
The 15 year old will have a big decision to make when he turns 16 in a few weeks and is allowed to sign professional forms.
He’s not short of suitors and some of the very best clubs in England and Spain are serious about taking him. But, with the sort of infrastructure and facilities available at Real Madrid he must be sorely tempted. Even the sheer scale of the place is seductive by comparison to other clubs.
The one thing that might go against Real Madrid, if they are serious about taking Odegaard, is that other clubs may try to offer a quicker route to the first team football that any ambitious lad would crave.
But Odegaard will surely be loaned out to begin with anyway and this should negate that concern.
Let’s take a look at the lad in action. Real Madrid fans: how far can Odegaard go?
