Odegaard hardly had opportunities with the Real Madrid first team, as he debuted on May 23, 2015, against Getafe at 16 years and 156 days to become the youngest player to do so in the history of the first team of the La Liga club.

The Norwegian admitted that he decided to leave Real Madrid due to the difficulties of appearing with the first team which has "the best players".

Odegaard added that he is very happy to join the Dutch top division club, where he will have an opportunity to show his capabilities.
