# Real Madrid sensation eagerly awaiting Klopp’s Liverpool move

**It’s not every day the punters in the Transfer Tavern are greeted by the news that their club is a preferred destination of a Real Madrid superstar.**

While Martin Odegaard is barely Cristiano Ronaldo or Gareth Bale, that’s exactly what the Liverpool fans propping up the bar have been greeted with this evening.

According to [the Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/1555989/real-madrids-martin-odegaard-waits-on-liverpool-as-bundesliga-clubs-chase-him-for-loan-deal/), the Norwegian playmaker hit headlines when he moved to *Los Blancos* last year in a lucrative deal for a player of his age.

Still, his tender years and the vast array of attacking talent has seen the 17-year old kept largely in the club’s Castilla ranks, though he has impressed during the club’s preseason tour of America.

German clubs such as Bayer Leverkusen and Hamburg are [said](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/1555989/real-madrids-martin-odegaard-waits-on-liverpool-as-bundesliga-clubs-chase-him-for-loan-deal/) to be keen on the midfielder, though his astronomical wages could prove a stumbling block in any move to the Bundesliga.

However, those within the player’s camp are [thought](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/1555989/real-madrids-martin-odegaard-waits-on-liverpool-as-bundesliga-clubs-chase-him-for-loan-deal/) be hopeful that former Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp will rekindle an interest, with Odergaard himself [having](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/1555989/real-madrids-martin-odegaard-waits-on-liverpool-as-bundesliga-clubs-chase-him-for-loan-deal/) already visited Melwood.

**Would signing Odegaard be more of a publicity stunt than a good footballing signing? Let us know below…**
