Odegaard is not for sale Real Madrid Real Madrid are not open to offers

Martin Odegaard's performances in the Dutch Eredivisie for Vitesse this campaign have not gone unnoticed, but Real Madrid have no intention of letting the promising Norwegian go.

The 20-year-old has attracted particular interest from Champions League semi-finalists Ajax, who have been watching his progress closely this year.

However, Real Madrid are taking a firm stance over any possible sale of the talented youngster, making it clear that they are not open to offers.

Los Blancos fought off a host of other top European clubs to land Odegaard in the winter transfer window of the 2014/15 season, paying 3.5 million euros to secure his services.

Now that he is beginning to demonstrate his evident potential, Madrid are not about to let go of one of the continent's brightest talents.

The likeliest option for Odegaard is another loan which could still interest Ajax.

The decision will be taken at the end of the season, after the player sits down with the club to speak about his future.

"My agent is always in contact with Real Madrid and we are evaluating several things, we will have to see what is best for my development and then make a decision," the player said during a recent interview on Dutch television.
