The Norwegian has just celebrated his 16th birthday, the date on which the promising young player who has been dazzling with his performances this season had been scheduled to decide which of the many teams interested in signing him he would join, but no decision has been made and it has now been postponed until January.
The player's father contacted the club's board, with whom he has held several meetings to negotiate an extension for his son. He wants more time, to clear up any possible doubts he may have before making a decision. He wanted guaranteed top flight football and Real Madrid went as far as proposing he spend pre-season with the club before going out on loan.
Liverpool, Chelsea, Ajax, Bayern, Barcelona and Arsenal are just some of the clubs who have invited Ödegaard to spend time with them. Some of them, like Liverpool or Arsenal let him train with the first team. Real Madrid showed him around their Valdebebas training ground and the Bernabéu in an attempt to entice him to the club and offered him a handsome contract, plus a compensation package for his current club, Stromsgodset.
The German press were convinced he would join Bayern Munich, but according to sources at Real Madrid he has not yet made his decision.
