The Norwegian player Martin Odegaard is very close to leave Madrid and join Heerenveen, from the Eredivise. The young winger is in Holland trying to sign the new contract with the Dutch club. Odegaard will join the team on loan, the best way to keep improving.
Martin Odegaard was about to leave Real Madrid last summer and play in the Ligue One team Rennes. However, FIFA stopped the transfer because Odegaard was only 17 years old and there were some legal problems. Now, the winger has turned 18, so he can leave on loan Real Madrid and keep growing in a good European team.
Odegaard thinks that Eredivise could be the best competition for his skills. The Dutch league is very competitive and offensive, perfect for a winger. Besides, Odegaard could have the opportunity to play in Europe, because Heerenveen is currently in the fourth position of his championship, so they might play the Europa League next year.
Odegaard arrived to Real Madrid two years ago from Strømsgodset. He has been playing in Castilla, in the third division of the Spanish football, in the last two years. However, the team failed to be promoted to the second division and the younger should leave the club if he wants to step up in his career. Zidane made him played some minutes this season with the first team in the Copa del Rey fixture against Cultural Leonesa.
Since his arrival, Real Madrid have been trying to find a suitable team to give Odegaard on loan. At the beginning, Odegaard parents preferred the Bundesliga, a tournament with several foreigners and good for a Norwegian footballer. Then, Rennes appeared and Zidane trusted the French team as a good option for Odegaard. Finally, it looks like Heerenveen will be his next destination. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, Real Madrid former striker, was one of the stars of the Dutch club.
