Real Madrid are definitely not short on extraordinary young talents within their squad.
The Galacticos actually have quite the supply of potential superstars with the likes of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes leading the lines. But, there are more players that are bound to grace the spotlight in the not so distant future.
One of those talents is definitely Martin Odegaard, the 20-year-old Galactico currently on loan at Real Sociedad. And how do we know he’s bound to become one of the greats? Well, his numbers definitely don’t lie.

Real Sociedad’s player of the month for August has certainly continued his breathtaking ascent and is taking the La Liga stage by storm.
The latest proof that can attest to that statement is actually in the latest match he played for his new and temporary team. La Real faced off against Deportivo Alaves at home and Odegaard, for the lack of a better term, dropped a true masterclass. And this is not an overstatement by any stretch of the imagination.
The young 20-year-old midfielder assisted one of the three goals his team netted but that figure is actually pretty low considering he tallied a game-highest ten key passes on the night. That is just utterly ridiculous – the highest average in La Liga so far this season is Jose Campana with 3.7 per game.
Other than that, Odegaard also deployed four through balls, six crosses and managed an overall 84.1% passing accuracy. Interestingly enough, that wasn’t enough to warrant him the highest rating in the team, at least according to Whoscored who bestowed that honour on his teammate, Mikel Oyarzabal, having recorded two goals and one assist.
Even though the young Norwegian is still at the very beginning of his career with just 20 years on his back, suggesting he just might go on to establish himself as a superstar is becoming a less bold statement by the game.
In fact, at this very point in time, it looks likely to be true.
Still, let’s wait and see how he develops in the future but if he continues down this path, Real Madrid could have a place for him in the senior fold very soon.
