Reports: Martin Odegaard has requested to leave Real Madrid in January
Norwegian playmaker, Martin Odegaard, has reportedly asked Real Madrid to let him leave the club this month, following a lack of playing time.
Latest reports by Spanish media outlet, Marca suggests that, the Norwegian has been left frustrated at the lack of playing time under French Coach Zinedine Zidane.
The 22 year-old midfielder has played just 367 minutes this season, with his last game being Madrid’s Champions League defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk.
Marca further reveals that Zinedine Zidane wants to retain the services of the Norway international as the Los Blancos have a shortage of players in the attacking midfield positions.
Martin Odegaard has been linked with various clubs across Europe, but staying in Laliga looks possible with Real Sociedad reportedly interested in offering Martin Odegaard a way out of Real Madrid.
The La Liga outfit were desperate to keep hold of the 22-year-old last summer, but the Norwegian decided to return to his parent club.
