It was the stamp of the post-match between Arsenal and Liverpool (0-3). The German coach was seen, Jürgen Klopp, chat for a good few seconds with midfielder Martin Odegaard on the grass of the Emirates Stadium after the resounding victory of the Liverpool team over the locals. It has not transcended what was said, but the Norwegian was very comfortable, On loan from Real Madrid at Arsenal. Even a smile escaped the German's words. A match that has more value if we consider that it was not Odegaard's best game as gunner, since it hardly had an impact on Mikel Arteta's game.
From Liverpool's point of view, it is a starting point to bring Norwegian talent to the radar of the reigning Premier champion. Klopp has long been a 'lover' of Madrid's football. When the German landed at Anfield, Odegaard's name was one of those that rang in the offices net but Odegaard was already in the Madrid team and it was difficult to get him out of there. Now the situation has changed. The Norwegian is comfortable in England as he himself has said on occasion and if he cannot continue in the ranks of Arsenal, which has a difficult time paying for a transfer, then he would not look down on Liverpool. Real Madrid, in case Odegaard does not continue in the white squad, will look for a transfer to face other objectives.
It was not surprising to see Klopp and Odegaard exchange impressions but yes, how they said goodbye. They did it with a warm hug that can say many things for the future. And that has accelerated speculation among Liverpool fans. Odegaard has a contract with the Madrid team until 2023 and if he does not have the possibility of playing with more continuity, he will ask to leave. And he knows that Liverpool and Klopp are there.
