• 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

.
