Real Madrid.Odegaard gets tired of the bench
The
Real Madrid
has made official the transfer of
Martin Odegaard
to the
Arsenal
.
The Norwegian midfielder had asked the white club to go out on loan in this winter market after not having all the desired opportunities during the first leg of the season, and at the Bernabéu they have agreed to his request.
A few days ago, as this newspaper
learned
,
Odegaard telephoned the Royal Society
to sound out the interest of the Basques in a new loan, given the great season carried out by the Nordic in Anoeta.
The 'txuri-urdin' were in favor of an agreement, but the appearance of
Arsenal
, which will pay the player in full and
compensate Madrid financially
, changed everything.
The team led by
Mikel Arteta
, who made
Mesut Ozil's
departure
to
Fenerbahce
official in recent days
, has convinced the footballer, who had decided to insist on his departure.
Arteta has a taste for touch football and was in need of a midfielder with which to link the midfield and his forward, formed by
Aubameyang and Lacazette
.
At the Emirates, the Nordic will meet an old acquaintance of the Madrid fans,
Dani Ceballos
.
It will be the
fourth loan for Odegaard
since he arrived at Real Madrid in 2015, at just 16 years old.
He has gone through
Heerenveen, Vitesse and Real Sociedad
, where he became one of the best players in the League.
In San Sebastián he had one more year on loan, but Madrid decided to get him back early after his good season.
The decision, yes, has not gone well.
The footballer
started the course as a starter
in the first two league games, but as the weeks went by he suffered different muscular problems, which were added to
knee pain
that he dragged from the final stretch of the course with Real.
An irregularity that has prevented him from constantly having minutes in Zidane's line-ups.
The French coach, who has always spoken well of Odegaard in the press room,
loses yet another piece of his supposed second unit
, after the loan of
Luka Jovic to Eintracht
until the end of the season.
The loans from the Norwegian and the Serbian do not have a purchase option and will only be for a few months, taking into account that the leagues end at the end of May, so in summer they could be available to the Madrid coaching staff for the new campaign.
Meanwhile, Zidane will assume the attempt to come back in the League and the dispute of the knockout stages of the Champions League with
Casemiro, Kroos, Valverde, Modric and Isco
in the middle of the field, and with
Mariano
as the only alternative to Karim
Benzema
.
On the wings, with
Rodrygo
still injured,
Hazard, Asensio, Lucas and Vinícius
will fight for two places
.
