Odegaard: “Here you have a txuri-urdin forever”

Martin Odegaard will play next season at Real Madrid. Zidane called him and told him that he was counting on him. But before returning under the mantle of the French coach, the Norwegian wanted to say goodbye to what has been his club this season, Real Sociedad. Odegaard arrived in San Sebastián after spending two years on loan in Holland, and in Donostia he has finished exploding as a player, which has made him deserve a place in Zidane's plans.

“Kaixo family txuri-urdin. I want to send you this farewell message, but above all to thank you for what has been an unforgettable year for me”, The Norwegian begins by saying in a video that the San Sebastian club has uploaded to its website, where his best moments with the realistic coat appear. “I have lived great moments with this shirt, since the presentation, my first goal at Reale, qualification for the Cup final and for the Europa League …”He continues.

He has not wanted to forget the hobby that has made him “feel one more youth squad. All the affection that you have shown me in the field and in the day to day I will never forget”. He also wanted to thank “the club for the trust they put in me and all my teammates and staff who have helped me to be better day after day.” Finally, he wanted to say goodbye, remembering the love he will keep for the club: “The time has come to say goodbye, but here you have a txuri-urdin forever. Agur eta aupa reala”.

“We will never forget what has made us enjoy”

Along with the video of the Norwegian's farewell to the fans and the San Sebastian club, La Real also wanted to have a word of thanks towards a footballer who has helped the team to return to a Cup final and to Europe. The Norwegian, who in recent months played injured in the knee to help the team in its goal of qualifying for Europe, will be fondly remembered in San Sebastián.

“It is difficult to get so much in such a short time, but Martin Odegaard has succeeded. The southpaw leaves us to return to Real Madrid, but we will never forget everything that has made us enjoy this unforgettable season. His goals, his football, his character, his effort and his humility have made Martin be remembered with immense affection by the entire royal family. He himself wanted to thank all that love in this video. Eskerrik asko, Martintxo, and we wish you the best for your future”Wrote the club.
