Having played a great season for Real Sociedad in San Sebastian, Norwegian player Martin Odegaard is returning to the club to which he belongs. The Spanish media is reporting that Real Madrid decided earlier to bring the player back. The 21-year-old Norwegian, who has belonged to Real since 2015, was loaned to Real Sociedad last summer for two years. Odegaard had already started making plans for the new season with the San Sebastian team, but the management of the Madrid club contacted the Basques and indicated that they wanted to bring back the Norwegian earlier. According to Marca, this decision was made by Zinedine Zidane, who, after the Champions League failure, stated that he wanted new faces in the midfield. Last season, Odegaard played 36 matches for Real Sociedad, scoring 7 goals and making 9 assists. Odegaard still has a three-year contract with Real.
