5 players who need to leave Real Madrid to progress

Martin Odegaard

The Norwegian international’s inclusion on this list might be surprising, but there is no denying the fact that Odegaard is blessed with immense natural talent. The 17-year-old attacking midfielder is diminutive, quick-footed and capable of unlocking any defence with his terrific passing range.

However, the Real Madrid squad is full of stars, and with competition especially high in his position, Odegaard will have to consider leaving Los Blancos if he is to get regular playing time at the top level.

Likened to David Silva and Lionel Messi by his earlier youth coaches, Odegaard has struggled to display his best abilities at Real Madrid Castilla and it might suit both parties if the Norwegian international moves away from the Spanish capital.
