Rennes remain keen on Real Madrid midfielder Martin Odegaard.
AS says if Real Madrid and Rennes can come to an agreement in the New Year, then it looks likely that Odegaard will leave on loan in order to gain greater first-team experience.
Madrid don't want to let the promising young Scandinavian talent go altogether, especially considering the fact that their appeal over the sanction imposed on them by FIFA – which could bar them from signing players for two transfer windows – is still pending.
Rennes chief Mikael Silvestre confirmed: “The Odegaard case isn't closed. We'll see in January."
