Martin Odegaard extends Real Madrid contract

Odegaard extends Real Madrid contract

Norwegian teenager Martin Odegaard has revealed that he has extended his contract at Real Madrid.

Odegaard turned down a host of interest to join Real Madrid from Stromsgodset in 2015, and it is understood that the midfielder, who is still just 18, is on £80,000 a week at the Bernabeu.

The youngster made his debut for Real Madrid on the final weekend of the 2014-15 campaign at the age of 16 years and 157 days, but was sent on loan to Dutch outfit Heerenveen in January in a bid to secure regular football.

The Norway international only managed one goal in 16 appearances for Heerenveen during the 2016-17 campaign, but Odegaard will continue with the Dutch outfit this season.

"My contract probably won't run out in 2018," Odegaard told VG sporten. "I've extended my contract but I don't want to say much more on the subject right now."

Odegaard has already made three league appearances for Heerenveen this season.
