The youngster’s stellar performances for have reportedly caught the attention of Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Manchester United have joined the race to sign in-form Real Madrid midfielder Martin Odegaard.
A whole host of clubs are suddenly interested in Real Madrid midfielder Martin Odegaard, as he has impressed on loan with Real Sociedad this season. The 20-year-old has impressed this term on loan at Real Sociedad, where he has scored two goals, supplied two assists and been one of La Liga’s most creative midfielders.
The Sun claims that Premier League rivals Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City have been keen, but Manchester United have also entered the race for the youngster and have sent scouts to watch him play.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Martin Odegaard to be a part of the youthful team that he is building. His value is being estimated around €30 million and reports indicate that the promise of regular Premier League football will be enough to convince him.
Odegaard has been so good this season that his performances have earned him the title of Player of the month for September. No player has also created more chances in the Spanish top-flight so far this season than the Norway starlet.
The Norwegian has spent a number of unsuccessful loan spells away from the Bernabeu since signing aged 16. Madrid have an option to recall Odegaard from his two-year loan deal, but it is thought the player may find first team opportunities hard to come by in Madrid’s susperstar-filled first 11.
He made his debut in 2015, but has only made two appearances since. It remains to be seen if Real Madrid are interested in cashing in on the youngster or keep him for the long run.
