WHY DON'T ODEGAARD JOIN BARCELONA?
According to many sources, Barcelona approached the Norwegian prodigy before Real Madrid got involved.
Odegaard even went to Barca to visit and practice. In January 2016, he was invited to sign a contract by the 'Catalan giants'.
"Barcelona invited us to La Masia," former Norwegian football scout Tor-Kristian Karlsen told Cadena SER. "We met [Andoni] Zubizarreta and were invited to Camp Nou to watch the matches against Ajax."
"Barcelona is a great club. However, Odegaard and his son considered many factors before making a decision."
Unfortunately! Barcelona was fined a transfer ban in 2016. This made Odegaard choose to join great rival Real Madrid.
