Odegaard has not played a minute of first-team football since the Champions League defeat to Shakhtar Donestk as Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Casemiro have established themselves as regulars as boss Zinedine Zidane has trusted his old guard, and he now wants a loan move.

Odegaard started the first two La Liga games of the season against Real Sociedad and Betis for Madrid but has suffered various muscular injuries since to derail his progress – but he has been fit for each of the past seven matches and has not played a minute.
The midfielder was the only addition to the first-team squad at Los Blancos this summer, as the club cut short his two-season loan spell at Real Sociedad, for whom he thrived last campaign.
It was anticipated he would be a regular in the line-up this season and the latest report claims he wants to leave on loan for more first-team minutes.
I believe that the one who have to go is Zidane with his old faction.
He is a good player so dont get what Zidane is doing
Well me think he is showing lack of respect for the guys playing ahead of him.
If he wasn’t going to be featured, why bring him back from la real? He could’ve developed even more. Smh
That’s the main question. Zidane clearly wasn’t interested in him when he was there before.
I dont think its any thing personal he is saving him for the future as you see the Modric’s the Kroo’s and and all others will soon be too old to play for Madrid so leave the the coach alone.
Zidane simply wasting young talent every year,why are Real even negotiating contract extensions with the likes Modric (35 year old).The team needs to focus on the future (Valverde,Odegaard etc) thank our old guard for their services (Modric,Marcello,Ramos & Zidane)and just move on.
No comment, education ,vision, filling is a very sensitive issue
He perdido el respeto por Zidane, obviamente ha perdido toda habilidad para tomar buenas decisiones. Demuestra los últimos resultados y el vergonzoso trato del maravilloso Martin Odegaard.
