Odegaard, who is now 18 years old, only made two brief appearances with Real's senior team. He spent most of the time playing for their B team, scoring five goals in 62 appearances in the third Spanish division.
Real had to fight off virtually every major club in Europe to secure the youngster's signature, two years ago. Odegaard made his debut with the senior Norwegian national team when he was 15 and he now has nine international caps.
