Pep Guardiola had plans to make Martin Odegaard the best player on the planet when trying to sign him for Bayern Munich, according to Jan Age Fjortoft.
Odegaard made his league debut for Norwegian side Stromsgodset at the tender age of 15 years and 118 days, leading to a bidding war between Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Real Madrid for his services.
Then-Bayern manager Guardiola was desperate for the German giants to sign the Norwegian and stated his belief he could elevate the wonderkind to the top of the global game.
