Real Madrid doesn’t want a permanent farewell of Odegaard

Real Madrid is officially not ready to accept a permanent exit for midfielder Martin Odegaard.

The highly-rated Norwegian understood to have demanded a loan transfer away from the club in January after he struggled to get a look-in under Zinedine Zidane this season.

While a return to his former Real Sociedad club was also mooted, Arsenal reportedly made an approach to sign a short-term contract with Odegaard.

Marca informs, however, that although a loan transfer is a possibility in January, Los Blancos will not consider permanently selling him.
