Martin Odegaard has all the traces of playing for Real Madrid this season and not fulfilling the second year of loan at Real that was agreed, as MD has learned. There are still aspects to be finalized and the negotiation is still open, but in Anoeta they are now very pessimistic with the possibility that the Norwegian who offered such a good performance last season in the txuri urdin squad could continue, as expected. The reason is very simple. Zinedine Zidane is obsessed with having him. He loves and has been convinced by the game he has played at Real and his contribution in all aspects. In fact, it must be the only request that the French technician has made to Florentine
Perez for the campaign starting in a month. Bad news for La Real.
In the bosom of the txuri urdin club, they had already been ruminating that the bad news could fall as long as they did not obtain the green light from Real Madrid to that second season of loan that was agreed last year. The first deadline to seal the new agreement was May 31, but everything was delayed by the pandemic and the white club promised to give a response first at the end of July and then after their participation in the Champions League.
And it was precisely after falling into the hands of Manchester City last Friday in the maximum continental competition that Madrid has contacted the San Sebastian club to communicate that it wishes to recover its player, who has a contract with the entity of Concha Espina until 2023, at the express wish of his coach.
Odegaard was one of Madrid's executioners in the Cup
La Real still does not completely rule out being able to convince Real Madrid and the player to keep their word and materialize that second year of loan, but the options are limited. The problem is that the regulation only allows signing a loan season and that is what the three parties did in June 2019, but the desire to Zidane it has every sign of destroying the verbal commitment regarding the second season.
The player wanted to stay
Odegaard's wish and intention were clear a few weeks ago: to continue as txuri urdin. MD has already said that the footballer went to Real to formally express his intention to stay at Real for the second year, long before the team certified its presence in the next edition of the Europa League. It was necessary for Real Madrid to offer its agreement and everything seemed to indicate that it was going to give it, although it was known that he was a footballer who seduced Zidane. But, far from getting that green light, what has come has been the blow. Yes Odegaard He leaves, at Real they are aware that it will be difficult to find a player with that hierarchy and that commitment.
The footballer, for the moment, hurries his last days of vacation in his country. Your opinion also has weight when it comes to defining your future. He was convinced that it was at Real where he could best continue to evolve and that at Madrid Modric it blocked his way. Zidane has been able to change everything.
Wherever it is, what is expected is that the player begins the preparation period apart from his teammates, due to the knee injury with which the season ended. It is a problem in the right patellar tendon that has been dragging on since October and that was especially unbearable for the Norwegian in the last 11 games, of which he played eight.
Óscar Rodríguez is still free
La Real will activate its machinery in the event that Madrid backtracks on what was agreed last summer and recovers Odegaard. Real Madrid itself will offer solutions to Real if it does not yield to Drammen again. And one of the players that Anoeta's club asked him about was Oscar
Rodriguez, the midfielder who played on loan for Leganés and that the white club valued at 20 million euros. The one who will not come is Takephase
Kubo , since yesterday his assignment to the Villlarreal was made official
