Ajax consider move for Odegaard

According to a recent report from Marca, Dutch giants Ajax have made it known that they’re interested in a potential move for Martin Odegaard. The 20 year old made the move over to the Bernabeu back in 2015, and at the time, his move to the club was highly publicised. He was tipped as being the next big thing, but over the last few years, he hasn’t really been given much of an opportunity to shine in the first team.

Odegaard has more than a dozen appearances for the Norwegian national team, and has also spent loan spells with Heerenveen and Vitesse. Ajax has served as a great ‘proving ground’ club for many young stars over the years, and Odegaard certainly has experience in Dutch football.

If this is going to become a reality, though, it feels like it’d be more logical for Ajax to try and make it a permanent deal instead of a loan move.
