Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Tottenham will be disappointed that one of the most talented prospects have snubbed them to join Real Madrid.
Norwegian international, 16 year old star Martin Odegaard trained with all the mentioned clubs but decided that the European champions is the best destination for him.
The highly rated youngster took a long time to take the decision but now it is official as per Real Madrid that Odegaard will play for them.
Real Madrid official website released a statement that read:
“Real Madrid C. F. and Stromsgodset Fotball have reached an agreement for the transfer of Martin Odegaard”
The player is set to undergo medical and will hold a press conference later in the day to be officially unveiled.
At just the age of 15, Odegaard has featured for his national side and was brilliant last season in the Norwegian Tippeligaen for Stromsgodset.
In just 15 league starts, the teenage sensation netted 5 goals and added 6 assists to his name last season playing in different attacking positions.
Surely, it will take some time before Real Madrid will introduce him in the first team squad but he has the potential to become one of the best considering his raw talent at this age.
Nevertheless, with less than 2 weeks left in the winter transfer window, Manchester United should step up their work to sign much needed defender.
