‘Odegaard like Alonso and could replace Modric’ – Real Madrid role beckons says Sociedad legend Ufarte

The Norwegian has been catching the eye during a loan spell away from Santiago Bernabeu, but will be taken back by his parent club at some stage

Martin Odegaard is cut from the same cloth as former Real Madrid star Xabi Alonso and could go on to fill the boots of Luka Modric at Santiago Bernabeu, claims Real Sociedad legend Roberto Lopez Ufarte.

The Norwegian youngster is currently on a loan spell away from the Spanish capital. Having previously caught the eye at Heerenveen and Vitesse in the Eredivisie, Odegaard is now proving his worth in La Liga with Sociedad.
