#3 Alvaro Odriozola

Real Madrid have a history of investing in prodigious Spanish talents. Alvaro Odriozola was a highly-touted player when he signed for the club back in 2018.

The Spain international joined Real Madrid from Real Sociedad for a fee of £27 million. Dani Carvajal had been a reliable player at right-back for Real Madrid for some time, but Odriozola was supposed to provide competition for the position.

However, the 25-year old has barely featured for Real Madrid. Since joining the club, Odriozola has made 37 appearances in all competitions for the club. His lack of game time saw him join Bayern Munich on loan in January 2020.

The likes of Borussia Dortmund, Fiorentina and AC Milan are said to be interested in the right-back, and it makes sense for him to leave Real Madrid as soon as possible.


#2 Isco

Like Alvaro Odriozola, Isco was another expensive Spanish buy for Real Madrid. The midfielder has enjoyed some good moments with the club in the past but has now fallen down the pecking order.

A talented midfielder, Isco shunned interest from Manchester City to join Real Madrid in 2013 for a fee of £27 million.

The Spain international was an integral part of the Los Blancos first team during his first few years. His technical ability, creativity and reading of the game made him one of the best attacking midfielders in the world.

However, in recent years, Isco's value has plummeted. The 29-year old is currently a squad player for Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid. He has made 333 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring 51 goals.

Isco has made just eight starts in the league this season and provided a solitary assist. A change of scenery seems to be necessary for the Spaniard.


#1 Martin Odegaard

A prodigious talent, Martin Odegaard has been in the spotlight since making his debut for Norway's senior team at the age of 15.

Linked with some of the biggest clubs in the world, Odegaard decided to join Real Madrid in 2015 from Stromsgodset. The Norwegian spent the majority of his initial seasons playing for Real Madrid Castilla, and moved to Heerenveen on loan in 2017.

However, it was his loan spell with Vitesse that proved to be crucial. Odegaard then joined Real Sociedad on loan in 2019, and was one of their most important players that season. His performances for Real Sociedad prompted claims that he would be a key member of Real Madrid's senior squad when he returned.

That wasn't the case though. After limited action at Real, the 22-year old is out on loan again - this time at Arsenal. His quality is undeniable, and his impressive performances for the Gunners have prompted rumors that Arteta wants him at the club on a permanent deal.
