Martin Odegaard
wants a solution.
And he wants it now.
In the last month and a half of competition, the young promise of
Real Madrid
has played only five minutes.
It was in the match against
Celta
last day 2, his only appearance on the pitch since he started
in the white disaster in Ukraine
: 2-0 against
Shakhtar
.
At
22 years old
and after being the revelation player of last season, the Nordic midfielder considers that the
367 minutes
he accumulates between the League and the Champions League are not enough, he wants more and if he does not have them he will look for them outside.
He is the
19th footballer most used
by Zidane, far from his role in a Real Sociedad with which he has already had conversations to manage a
possible transfer
, as this newspaper has learned.
A few days ago, before even
being called up for the Copa del Rey match against Alcoyano
, the Norwegian telephoned the club that made him a star in the league.
The 'txuri-urdin' would be delighted with the return of '
Martintxo
'and they have already asked Madrid what options there are for the midfielder to go out on loan.
A decision that corresponds to Zidane.
The Ukraine disaster
The French coach started the season trusting Odegaard.
He gave him the title in the first two games of the course, against Real itself and against Betis, but immediately left the eleven.
He had a
patellar tendinopathy
from the end of last year and linked it to a
muscle injury
that had him off the field for three weeks.
He missed six games, returned to play minutes in the
Mestalla
debacle
(4-1) and started both in
El Madrigal
(1-1) and in the merengue victory at San Siro against
Inter
(0-2).
It seemed that the coach's confidence was regaining, but then Ukraine arrived.
The match against Shakhtar changed everything for Madrid.
Odegaard started in the eleven and played 77 minutes in a 2-0
that left the team hanging by a thread in the Champions League.
From there,
Zidane decided to bet everything on the midfield formed by Casemiro, Kroos and Modric
and the Norwegian, who again suffered several muscular problems, disappeared from the line-ups.
Few midfielders for Zidane
A month and a half later and still limping from some discomfort, the Norwegian wants minutes.
His departure, of course, would leave an area of the field in which Zidane will have to rotate again when the Champions League arrives.
Beyond Modric, Casemiro and Kroos, the Frenchman has
Fede Valverde
, who returned from injury a few weeks ago, and with an
Isco
who is not in his best moment either, so there are not too many players.
Zidane, who insisted that Odegaard wear white this season
despite having another year on loan at San Sebastián, will need the best version of the Nordic.
