Martin Odegaard has a return to Real Madrid firmly on his mind despite shining and enjoying regular game time at Arsenal on loan, according to reports.
The Norway captain has won plenty of plaudits since moving to the Gunners for his all-round displays and brilliant ability to link up play in attack - with his performance in the thrilling 3-3 draw at West Ham his best to date.
But Arsenal's hopes of landing Odegaard on a permanent deal beyond the season look to have taken a huge blow as Madrid are said to 'not even be contemplating' a permanent sale of the midfielder - according to Marca.
