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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
