Martin Odegaard future undecided

Martin Odegaard has admitted he does not know if he will remain at Real Madrid this season or be loaned out to another club.

A temporary move away from the Santiago Bernabeu outfit has been touted as a possibility for the 16-year-old in order to gain some first-team experience.

Coach Rafael Benitez, who handed Odegaard a start in their 0-0 draw with Valerenga on Sunday, has refused to rule out it out as an option and the Norway international himself says no decision has been made yet.

"We have to come to the end of the pre-season and then we’ll see what happens," he told reporters after the draw in Oslo. "I’m very happy in Madrid and that is all I can say at the moment.

“I’ve learned a lot during pre-season. I’ve been training well and I feel good.

"I don't have any specific goals for next season but I want to improve, it’s as simple as that.

"I think that I can show even more than I have done up until now.”

The former Stromsgodset player has admitted that playing for Madrid is stressful, but feels he is handling it well so far.

“It’s always difficult, but I’m only 16, I’m handling things as I can and I have many years to develop as a footballer.

"I don’t have to be in any hurry and I can play without any pressure or stress.”
