30 Teams Are Chasing This 15-Year-Old Sensation’s Signature



...including Real Madrid, Manchester United and Bayern Munich

Martin Odegaard was born just six months after Norway's last appearance at a World Cup final, but they might not have to wait another decade and a half before they're back on the biggest stage if Europe's latest teenage sensation fulfills the hype.

Stromsgodset's midfield magician has been linked with Europe's finest at the tender age of 15, and is already the Norwegian Tippeligaen's most talked-about player.

He's a Liverpool fan - you can probably thank John Arne Riise for that - but Real Madrid could be ready to table a £12million plus bid for the attacking midfielder, who is already firmly bedded into David Nielsen's side, scoring three times in 12 league and cup appearances with half the season gone.


Fellow European giants Bayern Munich and Manchester United have already seen Odegaard in action first-hand, welcoming the wonderkid to train with them last winter. He also trained with Bundesliga side Stuttgart, and supposedly 'visited' Manchester City last year.
