Real Madrid’s 16-year-old Norwegian international Martin Odegaard could be set to join the club he made his debut against last season.

La Liga minnows Getafe have added their name to the list of sides that want to take him on loan this summer and their president Angel Torres met with Real officials this week to discuss how the move might work.

Odegaard made his debut against Getafe in a 7-3 win at the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of last season now they have moved to the top of queue of potential loan clubs.

Getafe have a huge advantage as Real Madrid pick the destination of their expensive prodigy – they have no problem with him joining them on the eve of the new season having spent almost all of the pre-season with Madrid.

And with Getafe’s Coliseum Stadium being just 30 minutes from the centre of Madrid he would also not need to uproot, while a move to Malaga, Villarreal or Betis would mean he would need to find a new temporary home.

Odegaard will face Norwegian side Lavenger FK in Oslo on August 9 just one week before the season is set to start.

He will have already toured with new Real coach Rafa Benitez at this point with Benitez using Real Madrid’s tour of China, Australia and Germany to have a look at the Norwegian who will not be 17 until December.

Real have a friendly against Roma on July 18 in Melbourne and play Manchester City on July 24.

On July 27 they play Inter Milan in Guangzhou at the start of the China leg of the tour, and then against Milan in Shanghai on July 30.

They will then contest the Audi Cup in Munich on August 4 and 5 against Tottenham, Milan and Bayern Munich.

Villarreal, Betis and Rayo Vallecano remain keen on the signing. Another Real Madrid youngster Denis Cheryshev did well under Villarreal coach Marcelino last season.

Rayo’s highly-rated coach Paco Jemez is being seen as a potentially positive influence on Odegaard’s development and Rayo have a hole to fill too with the departure of another former Real Madrid youngster Alberto Bueno to Porto. Betis coach Pepe Mel also remains keen on the signing.
