Rennes coach Christian Gourcuff admits there's no deal yet for Martin Odegaard.

Gourcuff had hoped to sign the Real Madrid midfielder on-loan this week. However, he confirmed last night that nothing yet had been settled.

"At the moment there is nothing with Odegaard," he stated.

The coach said earlier in the week: "He will help with his technique and experience. He has the potential to be a high level player.

"Madrid wants the player to evolve, that Odegaard not go to just any club and if we have an opportunity we will seize it."
