When Martin Odegaard was deciding where to sign late in 2014, he narrowed his options to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

"We recommended that he stayed there for at least one more year, because the club thought that he wasn’t ready yet," revealed Björn Andersson, Bayern’s scout in Scandinavia.

Andersson said Odegaard may need a new start somewhere else.

Odegaard is still only 18 and is under contract at Real Madrid until 2018 even though he verbally agreed to a three-year extension.
