According to the French outlet Ouest France, the midfielder’s temporary departure from the club is immiment, and he has no place in the Galacticos’ squad for this season.
“The board would like to, ideally, close the transaction within 48 hours. This will be a loan without option to buy, Real paid €4m to Stromsgodset for his arrival (€8.5 million with bonus) and don’t intend to abdicate of the idea of seeing him shine one day so quickly”, said the Spanish source.
“There are a dozen offers on the table, including of a club from Liga, plus the English from West Ham and Liverpool, German clubs (Leverkusen, Hamburg) and Ajax Amsterdam.
“In recent hours, Stade Rennais showed up and are well positioned. Initially, Martin preferred Germany, but Zidane will choose…”
Oodegard’s interest in joining Liverpool has been reported for a while, but the Spanish media said the Reds still haven’t had placed an offer for him. West Ham’s name being mentioned is something new as well.
As the loan seems to be actually happening, it’s now a matter of wait and see where Zidane will send the kid to.
